FCSI The Americas Symposium
January 30-31, Orlando
The Conference Planning Committee is diving into the 2023 FCSI The Americas Symposium! The conference takes place just prior to the start of the NAFEM Show in Orlando, January 30 and 31, 2023.
We’ll kick off the event at Sea World where you can enjoy a dedicated roller coaster and a cool space to network and have fun with other attendees. Sessions on Tuesday will share education on issues of interest to consultants and allied members alike.
The Symposium would not happen without our Conference Planning Committee. Thank you for your hard work!
