Is Your Preferred Course Full?

If the course you would like to attend is full, we encourage you to try another one that is still accepting registrants or is accepting names for a waitlist. Previously confirmed participants may cancel their plans at the last minute, so feel free to check in with TMS the week prior to the conference or onsite at the TMS2025 registration desk to see if any spots have opened up. You may also arrive to the course room 5-10 minutes after the scheduled start time to see if a seat is available. If no seats are available, we kindly ask you do not crowd the back of the meeting room due to fire safety concerns in the event of an emergency. 

Can I Earn Continuing Education Credits?

Can participants earn continuing education credits even if TMS is not a registered education provider with their certification body?

In many cases, yes. Certification bodies often accept relevant continuing education from professional entities on an hour-for-hour basis. We recommend contacting your certification provider to confirm specific eligibility requirements before registering.

Attendance will be taken, and participants will receive a post-event digital credential for all TMS2025 professional development courses.

How Do I Register?

Courses and workshops are open exclusively to registrants for the TMS 2025 Annual Meeting & Exhibition and are included as part of the conference registration fee. If you wish to participate in one of the offered courses, please make your selection when you register for TMS2025. All courses are held on Sunday, March 23, so make your travel plans accordingly.
