Networking at the FPA 2010
National Conference
The
FPA 2010 National Conference is as much about the networking
experience as it is the conference program. Delegates are
usually
keen to find out who else is attending the Conference,
particularly to see if there are others attending from their local
area, state or networks. When you register for the
Conference, you can nominate if you do or do not wish to be included in
this list. The listing per delegate will include name,
position, company and state, and is available here on the website, and
also in the Conference Handbook onsite. Click here

current delegate list.
