The FICP Annual Conference in New Orleans is unlike any other event. It’s more than sessions and speakers — it’s an immersive experience designed to inspire, challenge and empower meetings professionals. Learn the latest trends, discover innovative solutions and leave with ideas to elevate your own events. The real value comes from the connections you make — conversations between sessions, insights shared over coffee and networking that sparks collaboration, creativity and real-world problem-solving. At the FICP Annual Conference, every interaction is an opportunity to grow, connect and innovate.
As a CMP Preferred Provider, FICP offers sessions that are pre-approved for CMP credit, helping you maintain or earn your CMP certification. Historically, the Annual Conference agenda has qualified for 7-9 CMP credits. Additional details will be shared when the program launches later this year.
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are core values to our association and its community of meetings professionals and hospitality partners and permeate every aspect of FICP. With our DEI Statement as a foundational guide, FICP events are planned with DEI in mind — from what you’ll hear on stage (i.e., session topics, speaker selection) to the organizations we partner with (i.e., venues, event partners, recipients of the FICP Silent Auction and charitable activities). If you have any questions regarding how DEI is part of our planning process for the 2026 FICP Annual Conference, please contact
