The Buzz...

Watch this testimonial from Kit Mac Nee, 2023 President-Elect.  

"I use a new tool called ConferenceAdit... it has eliminated all the paper sign in sheets for credit, all the report preparation, plus instant certificates.  Also, we can upload all the handouts for presentations and sponsor content.  It does even more, but even if it didn't, would still be great! - Melissa Simpson, Estate Planning Council of Central Pennsylvania

NAEPC used ConferenceAdit's Digital Conference Book, Course Surveys, and CE Tracking for in-person Annual Conferences beginning with the 55th and has had a fantastic experience.  The system does exactly what it's designed to do, especially with regard to improving the attendee experience, and does it very well.  With credit available in all states for all estate planning-related disciplines, this service was a wonderful addition to the conference. - Eleanor M. Spuhler, National Association of Estate Planners & Councils
