Each year, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) sponsors conferences where Commissioners and staff conduct a variety of technical workshops on the law. Discussion topics include fundraising, reporting and communications. Workshops are 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 FEC conducts roundtable sessions for the regulated community. The roundtables typically focus on a range of topics from election year communications to reporting. See the chart below.
Candidates, congressional staffers, lawyers, accountants, consultants and political committee staff are invited to register for the sessions, which will be held at the FEC, 999 E Street, NW, Washington, DC. FEC staff will facilitate the sessions.
Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Prepayment by credit card is required. Please call or e-mail the FEC before registering to ensure there is space in the session you wish to attend. Download the registration form [PDF], then fax it to the FEC to sign up for a session.
