is it ok to just attend Saturday and Friday? and is it should be the same price ?
Hi! Yes, you can choose to attend any sessions and activities but there is only one registration fee for the full conference.
Can we claim ceus for the conference
Hi Alison. Yes, attendees can claim CEUs. The program is currently being assessed by the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP) for accredited CEU for pharmacy technicians.
Is there a discount for hotel bookings?
Hi Jennifer. The group rate is $129.00/night (double queen or king). You can reserve your room by calling 1(800) 780-7234 and telling them you are attending the Pharmacy Technician Society of Alberta conference.
Good afternoon Jennifer,
Please accept our apologies as the phone number to book a room at the hotel is incorrect. The correct number to reserve a room is 1-800-661-1464 for out of town attendees and (403) 248-8888 for local attendees who want a room. These numbers go directly to the reservation desk. If you give the reservation desk, the following block code (201953), they will easily be able to help you with your booking. I hope this helps.
