Registration opens at 7:30 am

New Location UAA Student Union β€” University of Alaska Anchorage, 2921 Spirit Way, Anchorage, AK 99508 (click link above for map) Parking is free! There is a parking lot very close to the Student Union.

Finding Us When you enter the Student Union from the front, follow the hallway to the left, go down the stairs, and look to the right. Signage will be posted to help guide you to the conference area.

Registration Please bring your license number β€” you will write it along with your name legibly on the registration form. This is the information we will use to print your certificate for contact hours (CEUs), which will be handed out at the end of the day.
We will be doing self-registration with 4 sign-in stations for Nurses & Techs, and 1 each for Dietitians and Social Workers. After signing in, pick up your name tag and raffle tickets at the nearby table.

We will draw a few winners during lunch and the rest at the end of the day.

Refreshments Coffee, tea, and bottled water will be available, along with yogurt, fruit, and pastries. Lunch will be served – a combination of wraps, sandwiches and salad with water and/or soda pop

This World Kidney Day, we encourage everyone to take a one-minute quiz on your kidney health at MinuteForYourKidneys.org

Kidney disease often has no early warning signs but it affects up to one in three adults in the U.S. Regular kidney testing is critical β€” especially for those at higher risk β€” because early detection can help prevent serious problems.

More than 90,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant with the need especially high in communities of color. You can help when you sign up as an organ donor at donors1.org/register
