Information About Professional Development Hours

An increasing number of professional engineering licensing organizations require members to pursue professional development on a formal basis. DFI is pleased to provide a general Certificate of Participation for all its technical programs. This certificate is accepted by most licensing boards and serves as documentation of your pursuit of continuing education credits. There are some states that may not accept the general DFI certificate. Attendees are responsible for determining whether DFI PDHs are accepted by their respective licensing board. For this course, an estimated 20.5 general PDHs are offered.

NEW! For New York State Licensed Engineers:

The New York State Educational Department now certifies the PDHs earned by attendees at DFI’s conferences, seminars and workshops. At this time, there are no special documentation requirements from NYSED for course presenters and attendees.

Reminders for Speakers

Please note the following deadlines as you prepare your presentation.

Information/Materials Required:

You may continue to update your presentation and submit the final version until the conference. After a certain date, you will need to bring your presentation to the Speaker Preparation Meeting the morning of your presentation using a flash drive. The event staff will load it to DFI’s laptop. All speakers are encouraged to bring a back-up of their presentation on a flash drive.

Please be aware of the importance of limiting commercial aspects in your presentation and to focus on technical features. DFI reserves the right to later not accept a presentation that is too commercial. Additionally, unless your organization is a not-for-profit entity, corporate logos may appear on the first and last presentation slide only. Reference the Presentation Guidelines for details.

Please email the DFI Events Team at speakers@dfi.org if you cannot adhere to these deadlines.

Again, thank you for presenting at DFI’s 2019 Shotcrete Short Course.
