CPE tracking | Top

We’re streamlining CPE reporting using a product called Conferences i/o that will allow you to track the sessions you attended to earn your CPE credits. Please follow these steps:

Visit vscpa2.cnf.io on your web browser.
Select the session you want to check in to and enter your contact information including the email address associated with your VSCPA account.
Type in the session check-in code that you will find in the second slide of the presenter’s PowerPoint presentation.
Select the blue button that says "Check In Now." (Be sure to check in at the beginning of each session or you may not get full credit.).
Once the session is over, you will need to check out of the session. Click the teal “Check Out” button at the top of the session you are currently in and type in the check out code that will be at the end of the presenter’s presentation. Then click the blue “Confirm Check-Out” button.

To check into other session, you will need to click “Home” and then select the next session and repeat the check-in and check-out process.

Once you are ready to submit your CPE, go to “Your Check-Ins”. Scroll to the bottom and select the “Submit Now” button. This will email you a receipt and send the information to the VSCPA.

You will receive your CPE certificate within two weeks. If you attend ethics, you will receive your ethics certificate separately and within a few days of the event.

Social Q&A | Top
