Multipacks for Library Staff Development - Discounts for Attendance by Multiple Staff Members

As an added benefit and budget-stretcher for libraries, districts or systems who wish to involve the participation of multiple staff members, we are offering the ability to purchase multipacks!  A multipack for 10 staff members is just $595 --  the equivalent of paying for 7 staff members and sending 3 to the event for free! All libraries/systems/districts may purchase multipacks, however, PaLA institutional members will receive discounted pricing. (Log-in with your institutional membership to receive this discount.)

Once the multipack is purchased, a promo code will be provided to you for distribution to library staff for use during the second step: Individual registration.

For the best experience, and for full functionality of the online platform, and for CE credit, we recommend that participants view the sessions on individual devices.  However, group watching from a single log-in/device or combination of devices is permitted, but please note that members of the group(s) would not be eligible for CE credit.

Registration Policies

Access to the Virtual Conference Platform

Unlike a traditional venue for a live event, virtual events have made laptops, tablets and smartphones THE venue. We'll be sending all registered attendees a link to the virtual platform the week before the event to enable them to:

• Create a personal profile
• Select the sessions they wish to attend to create a personal schedule
• Obtain CE certificates for the sessions they attend
• View and/or rewatch sessions during extended access to obtain additional CE

For tips to maximize your online experience, visit our Best Practices for Virtual Events Tips page.

CE Credit

All sessions (including post-event recorded sessions) are eligible for one hour of CE credit, with a total of 18 credits available if all sessions are viewed.  All attendees who register via the individual registration link (whether paid or with the multipack promo code) will receive log-in credentials to the Pheedloop platform to create a user profile and obtain CE certificates. 

A pop-up window will appear during the session, which the attendee will click on to acknowledge their presence and receive the CE credit.  In addition, CE credit can be earned from viewing the recorded sessions through March 10.  For the best experience, we recommend viewing sessions on individual devices, however If viewing as a group, those who wish to obtain CE credit can “rewatch” the session recording to obtain CE credit.
