COVID protocol for 2023 ABFM Conference

Updated 6/7/2023

Though the federal COVID-19 public health emergency declaration expired in May, ABFM seeks to provide an environment in which attendees feel as secure as possible from COVID and other health risks. We recommend that all attendees who are medically able be fully vaccinated for the COVID virus and ask that attendees take reasonable precautions should they experience symptoms of illness. ABFM will advise on a different course should the situation change.

Conference Sponsorships

The Association for Budgeting and Financial Management invites organizations and agencies to sponsor key events at its annual conference with tiered recognition based on sponsor contributions.
