APRN Conference – On Demand
COVID-19 UPDATE
Thank you for your interest in the 2020 Coming Together in Advanced Practice Nursing Conference scheduled for April 30 and May 1. The Missouri Nurses Association (MONA) has been monitoring the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic very closely and has chosen to cancel the live, face-to-face format of this conference. We are currently working with presenters to record their session presentations. These session recordings will be offered in an on-demand format and available for viewing to registered participants at their convenience for a 60 day period beginning in May 2020. We hope you will still choose to register for the on-demand format of the event!
Please note the following:
- Registration is required for access to the recorded sessions. Click on the Register Now button below to be directed to our online registration system.
- You will notice that the online system was built as if you are registering for a live conference. Please know, this is unavoidable, since so many have already registered for the event. Please know, you must select a session during each time frame to finalize your registration in the system; however, you will not be restricted to just that session viewing. You will have access to all sessions recorded on each day you are registered.
- Sessions will be sold in daily access packages or a full conference package. To access all recorded sessions you must register for the full conference.
- The registration fees are the same as was shared in our recent marketing materials for the live event. We still offer one-day access fees and full conference access fees.
- Participants now have opportunity to potentially earn more contact hours. For example, instead of having to select one of the concurrent sessions being offered at a particular time frame, you will now have access to watch all sessions we are able to record on a particular day at your convenience. This potentially increases the maximum number of contact hours each learner can earn.

Click on the Register Now button below to be directed to our online registration system. Please complete the registration information as instructed. By selecting One Day Thursday or One Day Friday, you will be granted access to only the sessions originally scheduled to be provided that day. You must select the Full Conference option to gain access to all recorded sessions.
Registration will be open until April 26, 2020. Once registration closes you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the recorded sessions and the steps you need to complete in order to receive nursing contact hours.
Accreditation – UPDATED DUE TO ON-DEMAND FORMAT
Participants can receive a maximum of 25 contact hours for viewing all recorded sessions offered (10 for Thursday sessions, 15 for Friday sessions).
The Midwest Multistate Division is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
