About

The Texas chapters of CFMA are jointly planning the 2020 CFMA Lone Star Conference, which will be held September 17-18, at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin in Austin, TX. We have planned a great agenda with both national and local speakers.   To register, click the TICKETS button at the top of the page Our Response to COVID-19We are excited to continue the tradition of the Lone Star Conference, even and especially in light of recent events.  After deciding to continue with plans to hold the conference this year, we’ve worked hard to ensure the well-being of our fellow CFMA members.  Following are a few of our efforts:·      The choice of the historic Stephen F. Austin hotel was fortuitous.  The hotel has accommodations for only one conference of our size at a time, meaning that the staff will be focused on the safety and comfort of our conference and attendees.  IHG, already known for high standards, has published their Clean Promise, outlining their efforts at higher levels of cleanliness.  You can see those standards here:  https://www.ihg.com/content/us/en/customer-care/clean-promise·     Working in conjunction with IHG, the Stephen F. Austin has revised seating charts to allow for recommended social distancing.  Our meeting area capacity has been revised to 111 people.·       To comply with reduced seating capacity, we have made the decision to limit registration to the first 100 attendees·       We will only have one education track to reduce relocating and allow for proper cleaning.  We will follow all of the state and city guidelines to protect our participants.Conference Refund and Cancellation PolicyThe LSC Cancellation and Refund Policy will be as follows to assure consistency and is applicable to the 2020 annual LSC conference.·       Conference registration canceled by email on or before July 31, 2020 is 100% refundable.·       Registrants canceling by email between August 1-31, 2020 will receive a 50% refund. ·       Your registration may be transferred to another individual up until two days before the conference.·       Request will only be considered valid if sent by email to lonestar@cfma.org·       In the event the LSC Committee must cancel the conference due to unforeseen circumstances, LSC will refund the cost of registration.
