Streamlined Conference Management and CEU Delivery Within 24 Hours for NABA

Steven Anbro (00:00) I would describe OKWHEN as a full-service partner that helps streamline all aspects of conference scheduling. from getting speakers reimbursed in a timely manner, getting CEUs out to your attendees in a timely manner, and really just being the experts in all the supports that they bring for an event. Hi, my name is Dr. Steven Anbro. I am the president of the Nevada Association for Behavior Analysis, and we partnered with OKWhEN for our 2025 annual conference. I've been planning events and conferences with the Nevada Association for Behavior Analysis for the past 2 years with OKWhen. Before using OKWheN for our conferences, one of our biggest challenges was timeliness of CEUs. It would often take 1 to 2 weeks for folks to receive their CEUs after registering, and there were often issues with scans. Using OKWhEN has streamlined that process and really eliminated the majority of those issues. I would say one of the bigger outcomes for us this year was that we were able to increase our conference attendance in a city we don't always host our conference in. We were concerned that we might have lower attendance numbers, but OKWhen allowed us to - between on-site and virtual attendees - actually exceed our conference attendance from last year. we've received some great feedback from our conference attendees as well as other members of our board that said, OKWHEN made it exceptionally easy for them to attend events remotely if they were unable to attend in person. They were very thankful that their CEUs were distributed to them within 24 hours of the conference. And signing up and changing registrations was also a highlight that we heard about. I would say the feature that is the most impactful for me and I think for our conference attendees too is really the CEU tracking. Seeing right away what CEUs you've qualified for, which ones you need to go back and perhaps answer some quiz questions on because there were some inconsistencies with scans, and then also your total CEs for any given event. You have a live tracker that shows those and then when your certificates are ready. they are delivered to you instantly. Yeah, i would say OKWHEN has definitely saved us time. CEU processing after our conferences used to take us... 1 to 2 weeks when done manually. This year we had our certificates out to our attendees within 24 hours of the conference being over, so that was a huge savings in time. Yeah, so we are using their EV services. They always partner with whatever venue that we are hosting our event at. we've heard really excellent things from our virtual attendees about the quality. that's in a variety of situations, different locations, different lighting and stage setups. They're really able to tailor their tech to fit whatever space we choose. If you're sitting on the fence, my recommendation is for you to go ahead and partner with OKWhEN. They are exceptional and they are very dedicated to what they do. They will streamline your processes and make everything much more efficient. They're definitely worth the cost.
