The Federal Bar Association is committed to creating an event experience where our participants, partners and employees can safely and effectively conduct business, network and learn. National conferences will follow current CDC guidelines as well as any applicable protocols that may be required by our venues, state and local governments. As guidelines evolve based on CDC recommendations and government mandates, we will share new developments on this resource page.
