The MOSERS 2025 education schedule includes both in-person seminars and online webinars. Be sure to check our Education page for the latest information!

We have designed our educational programs to help you learn about your state employee benefits as you progress through your career and experience different life events along the way.

How to Register:

It's easy! Log in to myMOSERS and go to Education Enrollment. To see the webinar and seminar schedules together, be sure to select show all. Once you've reviewed the schedule, choose the session you wish to attend and complete the registration information. You may register for only one session at a time. Registration closes two weeks before webinars and one week before in-person seminars.

Ready to Retire Webinars: If you are registering for an online webinar, make sure that you complete both steps of the registration process:

1. Register through myMOSERS, and
2. Visit GoTo Webinar to complete registration (you will find this information on your myMOSERS enrollment confirmation page). This step is necessary to receive instructions and the link to join the webinar.

Bring a guest: You are welcome to bring a guest or spouse with you! If your guest or spouse is not a state employee, add them while registering through myMOSERS.

If your guest or spouse is a state employee within five years of retirement eligibility, they should complete the registration process for the same session through myMOSERS to receive their own customized packet and benefit estimate.

Confirmation & Reminders: We will send a confirmation to your MOSERS Document Express online mailbox (log in to view and print) and reminders leading up to the session. If you registered for an online webinar, you will also receive confirmation and reminder emails from GoTo Webinar with instructions and the link to join the webinar.

Special Needs: If you need special meeting room accommodations or have dietary restrictions due to a medical condition, contact MOSERS at (800) 827-1063 at least two weeks prior to the seminar date.
