Join us in Washington D.C. September 30 – October 2
ABFM’s 33rd research conference will take place, in person, at the Georgetown Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC, September 30 – October 2, 2021. The hotel has confirmed that they will be able to host the conference on satisfactory terms under the circumstances. Some details of maximum permitted room capacities and health protocols remain to be settled, pursuant to updated guidance from the CDC and the District of Columbia, but our best information at present indicates that it will be possible for us to meet safely and productively in DC this fall.
Conference preparations this year will run a few weeks behind the usual schedule, in part because of the delayed start, and in part because the hotel will need to get updated health and safety guidance before the exact configuration of the program can be settled.
The call for proposals is available now (see below), and the deadline for proposal submissions is June 4. The conference Chair expects to notify panelists and presenters of proposal acceptances by July 1.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation and related uncertainties, early registrations will be deeply discounted from the normal rates that were scheduled to take effect this year as part of the effort to bring ABFM’s budget into balance over the next several years:
