ALL CONFERENCE OFFERINGS
Continuing Education: Design professionals, we are still in the midst of planning the conference, but we anticipate that you you can earn up to 8 hours of CEUs over two days:
- We also anticipate that all CEUs contain HSW content, thereby qualifying as CEPHs for continuing education requirements set forth by TBAE [Texas Board of Architectural Examiners] for Registered Interior Designers and Registered Architects.
- All courses will be approved by IDCEC [International Design Continuing Education Council], which means they will all be approved by ASID [American Society of Interior Designers], IDC [Interior Designers of Canada], and IIDA [International Interior Design Association].
- Many courses will be approved by AIA [American Institute of Architects].
Great News: You will be able to use the IDCEC Mobile App to easily record any CEUs you take in real time! Before the conference starts, be sure to...
