We are pleased to offer audio recordings of all 2011 conference workshops and keynote presentations. Each of the following links will bring you to a password protected audio file available to NPEA members and 2011 conference attendees only. The files are available as download and cannot be streamed directly from the website. The quality of the recording varies by presentation. While we have edited the files as much as possible, not all audience questions and comments are audible.

We hope these recordings are useful and encourage ongoing learning.

If you are a member, and/or attended the 2011 Conference, please email Carrie for the password to access the audio files.
