All attendees, including anniversary sponsors, members, vendors, and guests, will register through CFA’s online event registration system.

Before registering, please review the information below and the event schedule to ensure you select the correct options and choose the events you and your guests plan to attend throughout the weekend.

Platinum – up to 8 attendees
Gold – up to 6 attendees
