The 2009 Transfer Conference, in response to attendee feedback from the previous year, was modeled on a multiple presentation format. Breakout sessions from practitioners were chosen through a competitive RFP process and were chosen for their innovative approaches to and currency with Missouri transfer issues.

Presenters and topics were representative of all institutional sectors and, in keeping with this year's conference theme, were focused on both policy and practice issues. Sessions were organized into three tracks: 1) Current Statewide Initiatives; 2) Best Practices in Transfer Credit; and 3) Transfer Student Data and Research.
