These events may be worth CM points based on the number and duration of laser safety sessions attended (see the time-specific point breakdown below).
 

Please fill out a Conference Verification Worksheet identifying laser-related sessions attended. CM Points are determined based on length of laser safety and laser application sessions attended. Be sure to attach a copy of the conference agenda and proof of attendance! Sessions that are not related to lasers or laser safety will not be counted.
