March conference for candidates and party committees

The Commission will hold a conference for House and Senate campaigns and political party committees March 15 and 16, 2006, in Washington, DC. Commissioners and staff will conduct a variety of technical workshops on federal campaign finance law designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as well as for those more experienced in campaign finance law. The registration fee for this conference is $385 for participants who register by February 16, and $395 for registrations received after that date. Since this annual conference is very popular among the regulated community, there is a limit of two attendees per organization.
