Recognizing the need for a lifelong commitment to learning, CFA Institute is a registered sponsor with several regulatory organizations to offer continuing education credit for our conferences.

We also offer the voluntary Continuing Education (CE) Program for our members. All of our conferences are eligible, and members automatically receive credit for attendance in their CE tracking resource within three to four weeks after the close of the conference.

Get Credit:

CFP Board

CFA Institute is registered as a sponsor of continuing education with the CFP Board. Select conferences have been accepted and CE credit has been granted by the CFP Board.

If you want credit for your CFP designation, you must request an attendance form at the on-site conference registration booth.
