Monday, October 25
We know you’re eager to meet with fellow members and hospitality partners at FICP’s long-awaited in-person Annual Conference. Based on the positive feedback about last year’s successful virtual appointment opportunities, FICP has added a pre-conference virtual meeting day so that you can start meeting with other attendees to discuss ideas and solutions before you even get to Phoenix. During this pre-event activity, which will take place October 25, FICP will also provide an overview of what to expect at the conference and the measures in place to keep our community safe.
