.: FSAE 2014 Annual Conference :.
July 9 - 11, 2014 | Hilton Orlando
Early Bird Deadline: April 30

Why should you attend?

"As a first time attendee in 2013, I was excited to interact with my peers.  Being in sessions and hearing ideas that you may have thought about, but didn't know how to implement was very exciting! 

I plan many meetings during the year and it's great to know that you have additional avenues to make your meetings & events the best they can be. I was so excited about the 2013 conference that as soon as registration opened for 2014, I registered! I am always looking for new ideas and I love to meet people because you never know 
how your relationship will evolve.”  

 - Valeria Anderson, IOM, Center for Fine Arts Education
