 During registration, you will choose the track that applies to the type of organization you represent—a candidate’s campaign committee, a party committee or a corporate/labor/membership/trade PAC. Beginners should register for Basics for Beginners on Day 1 and Recent Developments in the Law on Day 2. More experienced participants may choose to attend Recent Developments on Day 1, rather than Basics for Beginners, though some may benefit from the refresher Basics provides. On Day 2, experienced participants may choose our scenario-based Advanced Practicum or Recent Developments, if they did not attend that workshop on Day 1. More detailed information is available on our conference website. Conference agenda Day 1 kicks off with a welcome session at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and ends at 4:30 p.m. (ET). Day 2 begins at 10:15 a.m. and wraps up at 3:30 p.m. (ET).
 A full agenda is available here.
