A premium two-day virtual experience featuring 8 expert speakers, 12 CEUs, and a private professional community designed to help you level up your skills, prevent burnout, and build a sustainable career.

Get valuable continuing education that’s actually useful.
Build lasting connections with like-minded professionals.
Learn how to create a sustainable, fulfilling practice.
The full event is valued at $297, but for a limited time, you can get:
The full two-day conference.

All session recordings.
For just $47 as a Founding Member.
