Submit Your Presentation
PFAC’s 2024 Conference Committee invites you to submit a presentation proposal for PFAC’s 29th Annual Educational Conference scheduled for May 15-18, 2024 at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego. Please note that while PFAC appreciates each submission, because there are a limited number of time slots for educational breakout sessions, the Conference Committee may not be able to include each presentation submitted.
Presentation submissions are for breakout sessions and should be either 1 hour or 1.5 hours in duration (including time for questions and answers). Presentations should focus on issues that are relevant to a Professional Fiduciary’s practice and legal responsibilities (see suggested topics below). Pre-intensive sessions and general sessions are arranged by and are at the invitation of PFAC’s Conference Chairs.
PFAC’s education vetting committee reviews each presentation submitted to determine if it qualifies for continuing education credit. With the goal of having a wide range of topics available at the conference, final selections are made by PFAC’s 2024 Conference Chairs. Once the slate of presentations is finalized, notices will be sent via email to those that submitted presentations advising them of whether their submission was selected for the conference. Included with notification that your presentation was selected, you will be advised of the conference date and time slot assigned for your presentation.
Conference presenters receive one complimentary general conference registration (Wednesday through Saturday) which includes meals throughout the day and, if requested, the Friday Evening Dinner Event. Though not complimentary, conference presenters are eligible to register for Pre-Conference Intensives (scheduled on Wednesday). Please note that complimentary registrations are non-transferrable and do not have a cash value. PFAC does not provide honorariums to presenters and does not cover expenses incurred by presenters for any purpose including, but not limited to, transportation, lodging, or parking expenses.
