Program
A draft of the conference program is available by clicking here. The last page is helpful as it includes the floorplan of the conference center. (rev. 10/14/18)
We will continue to update the program as we know more about the speakers and other information. The aftermath of the hurricane is obviously going to have an impact on the speakers and program, so please be patient as we continue to work on ironing out the details.

Go to our Certification page for application packet and details. Note that the fee for taking the exam is not included in conference registration. For more information, e-mail cfm@floods.org.
