Download the Conference App
Download the app and Search for an Event using NHPC.
- All users must create a new login. (Note: This is not linked to your conference registration or login from a previous year).
- The conference app is connected to the agenda website, so you'll use the same login for both. If you’ve already created an account on the agenda site, use those same credentials to access the app.
- You don’t need to star a session to attend—all sessions are open to everyone—but favoriting helps us plan for seating and room sizes. Favoriting a session does not reserve your spot, and registration is not required to attend the sessions. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- If you downloaded the app in the past, please delete it and download the latest version to access all current features and updates.
Look for "My Experience" on the Agenda Site & App
New this year, the My Experience on the agenda site and the Your Schedule button in the app allow you to add personal meetings to your schedule.

To earn CEUS at the conference, follow these steps:
Step 1
Select Your CEUs During Registration
When registering for the conference, indicate which CEUs you want to receive. If you are earning CEUs through the Building Performance Institute (BPI), be sure to include your BPI number on the registration form.
Step 2
Attend Sessions & Get Your Badge Scanned
At the event, you will receive a name badge with a QR code. After each workshop or session, have your QR code scanned to verify your attendance.
Step 3
CEU Reporting &
Transcripts
- For BPI CEUs: If you selected BPI during registration and provided your BPI number, your session attendance will be automatically reported to BPI—no additional steps are required.
- For Other CEUs: If you need CEUs for another education partner, download your transcript from our event registration site after the conference and submit it directly to the accrediting body.
CEU Credit Breakdown
- CEUs are awarded on a 1:1 ratio—each 60-minute session earns 1 credit hour.
