AFDO considers first-time attendees to be VIPs at the Annual AFDO Conference. If this is your first AFDO meeting, you're invited to attend the First-Time Attendee Welcome Reception being held in your honor. During the session, you'll have the opportunity to meet AFDO alumni, fellows, and other first-time attendees; learn about AFDO and its affiliate organizations; and find out about the exciting events taking place during the 2025 conference.
