A Message About Our Pricing
Dear A&T Respiratory Lectures Community,
For several years, we have been proud to offer our destination conferences at a consistent price of $199. As the costs to deliver these events have grown, particularly for essentials like CEU application and approval, we need to adjust our pricing.
This increase is necessary to maintain the high standard of quality you expect from our lectures and services. We did not make this decision lightly and sincerely apologize for this necessary change.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to our future conferences.
— The A&T Respiratory Lectures Team
