The days were full of various sessions to assist registrars in the ever-changing world of cancer data collection. While most speakers were live in person, they were able to take advantage of technology and had Jim Hofferkamp join us via a web meeting.
NCRA approved 10 CE hours and 7 Category A Credits for the conference. The luncheons and President’s Reception were filled with fun and provided an opportunity to visit with fellow registrars. Awards and Basket Raffles were a great way to end the meeting on Friday afternoon.
