Logging CPEU from In-person FNCE® 2025
Learners are highly encouraged to use auto entry to record activities.
Learners will now record live FNCE® sessions as one single entry in their Activity Logs using Activity Type 170/172.
Learners will claim 1 CPEU per hour of learning; total CPEUs claimed under Activity Type 170/172 will reflect the cumulative number of CPEUs a learner earns from attending live FNCE® sessions.
Based on the schedule of events, a learner who attends FNCE® 2025 in person can attend a maximum of 19.5 hours* of live sessions. Therefore, a learner may claim no more than 19.5 CPEUs for live sessions at FNCE® 2025.
*This number does not include events available as add-ons to FNCE® registration, such as workshops and Saturday symposiums.
Learners will record FNCE® poster sessions as one single entry in their Activity Logs using Activity Type 180/181.
Learners will claim 1.0 CPEU per hour of viewing posters; total CPEUs claimed under Activity Type 180/181 will reflect the cumulative number of hours a learner spends viewing posters.
Based on the schedule of events, a learner who attends educational sessions during all available times may claim up to 8.0 CPEUs for viewing posters. Attendees who do not attend educational sessions during all available times may claim more. Attendees may claim a maximum of 15.0 CPEUs for this activity type per recertification cycle.
Learners will record each session from FNCE® On-Demand (recordings) as an individual activity in their Activity Logs using Activity Type 740/741.
There will be approximately ~124 CPEUs available through FNCE® On-Demand.
Logging CPEU from In-person FNCE® (2019 to 2024)
When logging CPE from past Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo® in person events, log each educational session, activity or event individually—not the conference as a whole. There are multiple learning formats offered throughout the conference. These formats correlate with different activity types, set forth by CDR:
- 170 – Lecture/Seminar
- 130 – Exhibits*
- 180 – Posters*
Each format uses this CPE Certificates to log CPEUs. *A maximum of 15 CPEU for RDs/RDNs and 10 CPEU for DTRs/NDTRs may be claimed for activity types 130 and 180 during the 5-year recertification cycle.
Performance Indicators have been assigned to each FNCE® session. This information is subjective, so select those that best correlate with your Professional Development Portfolio (PDP) needs.
Sessions (Activity Type 170) should be listed separately. Include the session title, activity number and date in the certificate template. The activity number for each session can be found on the day-at-a-glance listing as well as on the session descriptions. One (1) CPEU is equivalent to a one-hour educational session.
E.g. a one-hour session = 1.0 CPEU
To log CPEU for exhibits and posters, complete the date and amount of time spent in the Expo Hall.
Exhibits (Activity Type 130) do not need to be listed separately. One may record several exhibits that relate to the same Learning Needs Code or Performance Indicator as one event on your Step 4 Activity Log. For example, logging exhibits viewed on a given day at FNCE® can be logged as "FNCE Exhibits".
One half (0.5) CPEU is equivalent to 1/2 contact hour (30 minutes).
E.g. Engaging with poster presenters for 30 minutes = 0.5 CPEU
E-Posters (Activity Type 180) do not need to be listed separately. One may record several posters that relate to the same Performance Indicator as one event. For example, logging e-posters viewed on a given day at FNCE can be logged as "FNCE Poster Sessions". One half (0.5) CPEU is equivalent to 1/2 contact hour (30 minutes).
E.g. Engaging with exhibitors for 30 minutes = 0.5 CPEU
Logging CPEU from the FNCE® Virtual Option (2019 to 2025)
When logging CPE from the FNCE® 2023 Virtual Option, log each educational session or activity individually, not the conference as a whole. The virtual option offers two learning formats that correlate with different activity types, set forth by CDR:
- 171 – Live webinar/teleseminar
- 180 – Posters*
*A maximum of 15 CPEU for RDs or RDNs and 10 CPEU for DTRs or NDTRs may be claimed for this activity type during the 5-year recertification cycle.
CPE certificates for virtual live sessions (Learning Code 171) and e-posters (Learning code 180) will be available directly through the virtual platform.
Note: Performance Indicators have been assigned to each FNCE® 2023 session. This information is subjective, so select those that best correlate with your PDP needs.
When logging CPE from the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo® session recordings, log each educational session or activity individually, not the conference as a whole. If you purchased the package of FNCE® session recordings, the sessions and certificates will be available to access via the Academy's Learning Management System 4-6 weeks following the conference.
- 175 – Recorded pre-approved CPE*
*A maximum of 50 CPEU for RDs or RDNs and 33 CPEU for DTRs or NDTRs may be claimed for Activity Type 175 during the 5-year recertification cycle.
Professional Development Portfolio
Attendees should record each session attended on their Learning Activities Log and complete a Certificate of Attendance Form for each session attended.

Separate forms are also included to record exhibits and poster sessions. Attendees are responsible for keeping their completed forms with their portfolio materials in case of audit. Please follow all policies as stipulated in the Professional Development Portfolio Guide.
