The FEC has not applied in any state to be an official CLE (or CE) sponsor. Attendees in the past, however, have applied on their own for, and received, continuing education credits for their attendance at FEC conferences and seminars. Contact your state MCLE organization (or state board of accountancy, for accountants) for more information. Please contact us if you have further questions or need additional materials for your application. Registration InformationWhat is the registration fee? The registration fee is $150 per attendee. This amount covers the cost of the seminar and materials. Payment is required prior to the seminar. A full refund will be made for all cancellations received before 5 p.m. EDT on May 9; no refund will be made for cancellations received after that date and time. After we receive your registration and payment, we will send you an e-mail to confirm your registration. If you will be unable to attend, please notify us as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to Conferences@fec.gov so that the next person on the waiting list will be able to attend.
