The 2021 Fall Conference will be 100% virtual, meaning all parts will be broadcast on the internet using software to allow for interactivity and participation.

What is Zoom?

Zoom is an application that allows groups to facilitate online gatherings.  It includes the ability for displaying video feeds of the participants, as well as screen sharing and other tools to allow for an interactive experience.

What do I need to participate in the conference?

You will need a computer or mobile device with sound.  For interactive portions of the conference, you will need to have a working microphone and web camera (already on most laptops and mobile devices.)

CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS (CEUs)

CEUs Are Being Handled Differently by UWM

UWM no longer pre-certifies CEUs for Ministers and LUTs. The UWM Eastern Region has designed and is offering sessions which we believe are CEU worthy and in relevant areas such as inclusivity, ethics, ministry operations, methods of teaching and self-care practices. Ministers and LUTs are required to track and document their potential CEUs and submit them yearly with their annual report. Please maintain copies of all registration confirmations and payment receipts for your records.
