Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning | University of Miami School of Law

Yes, virtual attendance is available. Registration for virtual attendance includes online access to educational sessions and Institute materials. About one week before the Institute, virtual attendees receive a password-protected link to join live sessions during Institute week. To earn continuing education credit, virtual attendees must confirm real-time participation by responding to polling questions during the sessions.

We do encourage attending in person when possible, so you can network at social events and visit our exhibit hall featuring the latest estate planning technology and services.

To ensure you receive Continuing Education credit, participation must be completed in a single format—either fully live in-person or fully virtual in real-time. Choose the option that best fits your schedule.
