Will there be a virtual component to the Annual Meeting? 

• No. We will be focusing our attention on an in-person convening. For on-demand virtual content, visit Society Education (Login required) where we offer low or no-cost access to accredited continuing education programming.

What security measures do you have in place for attendees? 

• The safety of meeting participants is of the utmost importance to us. To help ensure your safety all conference attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and volunteers will receive a thorough security vetting check and security procedures will be in place on-site.
• Security at the Annual Meeting may feel a little different than other conferences. All attendees are asked to keep the meeting location confidential, wear their badge throughout the meeting spaces and remove it as they exit, and follow session-specific social media guidelines.

What is the conference hotel? 

• For security reasons, hotel information is not public. This information will be released to registered attendees cleared by our security vetting procedures. It may take approximately ten business days after registering to receive confirmation. We encourage you to register early to ensure you have this information to book. 

What are the room rates? 

• We have secured a discounted rate of $233 per night plus taxes. The deadline to reserve your room in the block is September 24, 2024. Please note, the block will likely sell out prior to that date. Once your registration is confirmed, we will release booking information.

How are sessions and abstracts chosen for the Annual Meeting? 

• All sessions and abstracts are reviewed and selected through a rigorous process conducted by peer reviewers, the Annual Meeting Committee, and the Board of Directors. The peer reviewers and the Annual Meeting Committee are selected through an open call recruitment period once a year.

If I am not a member, should I apply to be a member before I register for the meeting to get the discount? 

• You can apply for membership right in the registration form! Once you submit your application, you will be taken directly to the Annual Meeting registration form and will automatically receive the member discount.

What is your refund policy? 

• Refunds, less a $50 processing fee, will be given to those who submit a written request to Info@SocietyFP.org no later than October 4, 2024. Refunds may take as many as ten days to process. Refunds will not be given after that date for no-shows. Registration to the Annual Meeting is non-transferable. 

Can my child attend #SFP2024? 

• We are able to offer onsite childcare for children ages six months to 12 years for October 17-21 at no additional cost to attendees.

• You can view and download a template that you can download for your employer.

How do I know if I signed up for a pre-conference session? Can I change to a different session? 

• You must be registered for the meeting to attend a pre-conference session. You can sign up for a specific session using the registration form for an extra cost of $50.
