Registration

Please register here. The normal rate is $55, and we have student tickets available for $25. Registration includes all sessions and Saturday’s lunch.

(Note: The system we’re using requires us to have the default set to include 1 normal registration and 1 student, but you can manually adjust the quantity of either to zero.)

Location

The conference will take place in Indianapolis. All sessions will be held in the Pershing Auditorium, which is located inside the Indiana War Memorial & Museum.

At the conclusion of the day on Saturday, attendees are invited to join us for a reception with food and drinks at a private home that’s an 11-minute drive north of the War Memorial & Museum.

The nearby Homewood Suites is offering discounted rooms for FPR attendees. You can book one here.
