What can I do to ensure an optimal viewing experience?

  • The latest versions of Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome are compatible with the platform on PC and Mac. ON24 recommends using Chrome if you are experiencing issues with a different browser.
  • Use a laptop or desktop computer – tablets or phone applications are not recommended.
  • Ensure that you have a strong internet connection. Streaming other services on your network during the conference can result in degraded audio/video quality, skipping, etc.

  • Disable your pop-up blocker and enable Flash (most sessions require it). If you enabled Flash but still see an error message, try refreshing your browser.

*On occasion, a presenter may not permit FEI to make their session available for on-demand replay.

What are the requirements for earning CPE credits?

To be eligible for CPE credit, you must:

  • Participants will have the opportunity to download their CPE certificate immediately following the session if above requirements are met.

Once these requirements have been met, you will be able to download the CPE certificate in the session via the CPE Certification widget. You will also receive an email with a link to the CPE certificate.

Unfortunately, we're unable to grant CPE credit in cases where technical difficulties disqualify eligibility due to the CPE Program Sponsorship guidelines.
