8th ISTFP Biennial Conference in New York

Take note that registrations are closed for in-person attendance

But registrations for the virtual ISTFP conference are still open.

As many of you already know, enrolment in the conference has exceeded our expectations, so we decided to use an overflow room beside the main auditorium for the plenary meetings at the conference instead of closing registrations. That overflow room is now at capacity. We understand that some might feel disappointed that we cannot guarantee a seat in the main auditorium so we offer a full refund to anyone who does not what to take that chance. To do so, you can contact Jill Delaney at this address: [email protected]
