Hello everyone,
The Fall Conference Committee is very excited to bring you this year’s MFAA Educational Fall Conference. We have worked hard to schedule high quality speakers and events that will provide valuable information for our membership. If you have any questions about the event please contact any of the Fall Conference Committee and we will do our best to help you.

The MFAA has reserved a block of rooms at the conference center. When calling to reserve your room make sure you mention that you are with the MFAA Conference. Members have to cover all expenses for their own accommodations. Room rates are $130 per night plus applicable fees/taxes. All other conferences fees, meals, and event expenses for members and guests are covered by the association.

The MFAA will be providing two separate evening networking opportunities during the event. We have found that these gatherings provide members a relaxed environment to network, exchange information, and commiserate over a well fought summer battle in all of our buildings. Both Wednesday and Thursday’s evening receptions will be held at the Wylie Center’s Tupper Manor.

We look forward to seeing you all at the conference.
