Building on the successes of its first four years, the McKnight's Online Expo is extending from a two-day virtual trade show to a six-month-long event. The virtual trade show for long-term care professionals will kick off March 23 and 24 this year — and continue for the following six months with new programs.

A record number of people took part in the Fourth Annual McKnight's Online Expo on March 24 and 25 and, not coincidentally, they earned a record high number of free continuing education units. More than 2,700 people registered for the "virtual" trade show, garnering more than 2,200 continuing education certificates.
