Has anyone attended a professional conference on orders? I'm looking to find out the process.

I have sir. You need to put in the request through your department. The TDY funds are normally managed at the department level. Looking at your photo Im assuming your in a hospital. If you are in nursing they would be managed by the DON and you can also talk to the OIC/NCOIC for Department of Hospital Education/Staff Development.
If they have the funds available and its an approved conference should be no problem. Better chances if its centrally funded.

I have. The process is the same as normal TDY. In DTS, in the drop down for "purpose of travel", there is an option for "Conference attendance".
