Tech Talks Returns

AACE is offering members a free-of-charge opportunity to watch AACE Conference & Expo presentations for your personal continuing education, and if you are AACE certified, also earn CEUs toward recertification. Each presentation will be offered for one week, then it will expire. However, your CEUs earned will remain on your profile. The “Tech Talks" will be offered on Wednesdays for the period of time that our members will be working from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We encourage you to engage with your fellow members and to share what resources, both work and home/family resources, that may help others navigate this difficult time.

Tech Talks are available for a fee for non-members.
