ACPEN Satellite Seminars
What is it like to attend a satellite broadcast?
Faculty Interactivity Format and Agenda
Attendees, at group sites or webcast viewers, are invited to participate in each program by emailing, calling, or faxing in questions to the panel, that will then respond during the program. The course is organized much like a traditional seminar. The full day course has appropriate breaks and a lunch period. Shorter webcasts may not include a break. ACPEN courses deliver a unique educational bonus! Instead of a single Discussion Leader, each full day ACPEN course will give you the insight of a whole panel of anywhere from three to a dozen national experts, regulators and practitioners. You receive insight on each point from several presenters. ACPEN viewer evaluations attest to the interactivity of the presentation and the quality of the content you will receive.
The broadcast is recorded on Central Time. Therefore, seminars are 10:00 am - 6:00 pm, Eastern Time.
For any issues with registration or technical problems during an event, please contact the ACPEN Help Desk by phone at 800-747-1719 or email at help@acpen.com. The Help Desk is available to assist you by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please allow 1 business day for a response to an email request.
Where will the satellite broadcast be held?
We have established locations in the state where ACPEN broadcasts will be presented. These may be at colleges or universities. The setting will vary from site to site but you will always have accessible parking, refreshments available, and food service convenient to the classroom. The schedule below will list where the sites are planned for this year. However, if your city is not listed as a site, but you feel CPAs in your area would like to have ACPEN available in your area, call Reva Brennan at (888) 557-4814, Ext. 103 for more information. Also, if your firm or corporation has satellite downlink capability, you may be able to receive ACPEN broadcasts at your office. To set up an in house group broadcast, please contact Reva Brennan at (888) 557-4814, EXT. 103 or rbrennan@scacpa.org.
