One Event Can Change Everything

More than 700 people from at least 19 countries converged at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta’s CNN Center last weekend for the largest and most ambitious event of FEE’s history. We are still buzzing here in the FEE office from the excitement and energy generated at the first-ever FEEcon. But FEEcon is not a one-off event. It’s a bridge to the future!
Mark these dates for next year: June 7-9, 2018.
