Our deepest appreciation to the FES for their excellent work in putting together the conference website!

To participate in the conference, it is necessary to follow a two-step process. The first step involves creating a MyFES account. Next, you will need to register for the conference. The Zoom links and the corresponding dial-in data/passwords for the conference will be available in the Program and Breakout Sessions sections of the website in good time. The Plenary Sessions on March 30 and April 5 also will be available via a public LIVESTREAM on the website.
