Earning Your CEUs

In-person attendance 

You can earn up to 1.8 CEUs (18 contact hours/CCUs) by attending APTA CSM in person and completing additional sessions through APTA CSM On Demand. 

In person, you’ll be able to earn approximately 1.35 CEUs (13.5 contact hours) by attending 90-minute educational sessions scheduled from Thursday to Saturday. Please note that this year, in-person sessions will end by 3:30 p.m. daily to give attendees more time for networking, wellness, and exhibit hall exploration. 

To reach the full 1.8 CEUs available with full registration, you will need to complete at least three eligible sessions through APTA CSM On Demand, available March 1–April 30, 2026. Access is included with full in-person registration. 

APTA CSM On Demand 

If you can’t attend in person, you can still earn up to 1.2 CEUs (12 contact hours/CCUs) by watching recorded sessions and digital posters through APTA CSM On Demand. For the first time ever, we’ve extended access to two full months, based on attendee feedback, so you’ll have more flexibility than ever to earn CEUs on your schedule.
