Regional Social Events

We are excited that many APFM members have volunteered to bring an in person component to our online conference, ranging from watch parties to simple social gatherings!

Below please find information about regional in-person events associated with the APFM Annual Conference. If you have any questions, please reach out directly to the organizer of the regional event in which you have interest. If you are unable to attend in-person or there is not a social event in your area, please scroll down to find information about a virtual social event open to everyone!

We will all be able to watch the closing plenary together, but there’s enough space for people to be in separate rooms and choose which workshop to watch.
