Attention, NASMM 2021 Attendees — To Obtain CEs You Must Evaluate Sessions by May 31

• You should have received your email from Express Evaluations some weeks ago (March 17th), encouraging you to complete an online evaluation and to retrieve your Certificate of Attendance for NASMM 2021.
• If you believe you did not receive an email from Express Evaluations, please check your spam folder and old emails prior to contacting us. Why?
  • You did receive it!
  • We have thoroughly reviewed the entire attendee list and every attendee was sent an email from Express Evaluations (not from NASMM).
• In the Express Evaluations email, you received a link to the evaluation form with a custom username and password.
• Important! You have complimentary streaming of the NASMM 2021 Conference until May 31, 2021.
  • We strongly encourage you to watch and evaluate every session you'd like to view in the weeks leading up to May 31st.
  • After May 31, you will need to purchase a separate streaming package from Playback Now. Save $$$ and view soon!
  • Due to the conference going virtual this year, you have access to more CE possibilities than ever before!

NOTE: You will need to obtain your NASMM 2021 Certificate of Attendance to confirm the CEs you are submitting for SMM~C Certification and NASMM A+ Accreditation renewals.
