2021 Annual Conference, Presented by M&T Bank
Content Days: April 23rd and April 30th (both Fridays)
Education Days: April 22nd and April 29th (both Thursdays)
All Elements Are Virtual This Year
The 2021 NJFPA Annual Conference, presented by M&T Bank, focuses on three key themes - supply chain, sustainability, and triumph in the face of COVID-19. The talks include several that were scheduled for the canceled 2020 conference and have since been updated, along with submissions from an open call for presentations and a few invited speakers. Our program committee selected speakers with a story to tell with actionable insights and demonstrated the ability to convey that knowledge engagingly over our virtual platform.
