Hosted by Minnesota Alliance on Problem Gambling

The annual Minnesota Conference on Problem Gambling.

We have a wonderful lineup of presenters who will cover a wide-range of issues pertaining to problem gambling. This year we’re trying a free hybrid model. As much as we wish we all could meet in person, this allows us to increase our outreach without any barriers.

All sessions are being recorded. Anyone registered will have access to the recordings until December 16, 2022. CEUs will be provided for each of the sessions you attend personally or virtually.

CEs available: 11
