“Invited Guest” Ticket Category
A primary purpose of the complimentary ticket category is to increase equity of access to the conference for individuals who would otherwise not be able to attend due to financial barriers (e.g., small, non-profit CBOs and patients/participants of FIM programs).This emphasis on equity of access is important to both the FIMCON Steering Committee and the FIMCON funders.
“Friends of FIMCON” Ticket Category
The “Friends of FIMCON” ticket category provides a reserved ticket for purchase by a small group of key collaborators. This ticket category does not provide complimentary registration, rather reserves a ticket for the recipient to purchase at either the Non-Profit/Academia/Government rate ($250) or the Corporate rate ($750).
