ALL attendees (not just nurses) are eligible to receive these contact hours; it is the responsibility of participants to determine whether the content provided meets the specific requirements of their certifying or licensing body.

Please note that the continuing education hours earned at this conference may be used toward:

Requirements for Successful Completion: Participants must complete the online evaluation for the overall conference and each session attended by December 4, 2022 to receive the contact hours. The printed conference Program will contain instructions on accessing and completing the evaluation.

Relevant Financial Relationships: There are no relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for those involved with the ability to control the content of this activity with the following exceptions:

• Planner/Presenter - Amanda Stinson, MS, RDN, CD, CDCES - Consultant trainer for Insulet Corporation
• Presenter - Lynn Estacio RN, CDCES - Consultant trainer for Insulet Corporation

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.

WNA requires ALL attendees to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccination and to monitor for symptoms of COVID infection before attending conference. Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, we strongly recommend masks be worn when indoors at the conference, and if transmission levels are high in Winnebago County at the time of the conference, we may require them to be worn indoors for all attendees.

In addition, each conference attendee will choose a color-coded sticker for their name tag to indicate their social distancing preference (green, yellow, or red) and ALL participants are expected to gauge their interpersonal interactions with respect for the individual's preference.

• A green color-coded sticker means that a person is okay being approached at shorter distances. They are fine with direct physical contact such as handshakes or hugs.
• A yellow color-coded sticker means that a person is cautious and would like to keep six feet distance. They prefer indirect physical contact such as elbow bumps or air high-fives.
• A red color-coded sticker means that a person is extra cautious and would like to keep further than six feet in distance. They would prefer no direct contact, no exceptions.
