You must complete the form by February 6 to be eligible to attend the conference. There is no cost to attend. The conference is in-person only and will not be recorded. The draft program can be accessed from the main menu.
Completion of the form does not guarantee attendance. You will receive a second, separate confirmation email in February if your request to attend has been accepted. Please visit https://fcsmconf.org/ for the most up-to-date information.
Presenters: Presenters, chairs, organizers, discussants, and the FCSM Program Committee will be approved to attend but must still fill out the form. Everyone who submitted an abstract should have received notification as to whether they were accepted. Presenters should hear from liaisons the week of January 26.
Shutdown: We are aware that many potential attendees are impacted by the partial lapse in appropriations. If the lapse ends before February 6, please fill out the attendance interest form as soon as you are able. If the lapse does not end before then, the FCSM Conference Planning Committee will work with employees of impacted agencies after the lapse ends.
