Additional Information

The FPSAC venue selection is done at least three years in advance by the Executive Committee (EC) to ensure smooth operation of a conference of this size and for timely compliance with grant deadlines.

The selection process takes into consideration a wide range of factors including geographic balance, community growth, historical context, and robust on-site resources.

There are several necessary conditions, any future FPSAC organizer must be aware of:

• Organizing FPSAC is a major task that spans multiple years.
• It requires many active organizing and program committee members.
• The organizers must be able to coordinate and provide a number of key conference aspects.
• In terms of space, these include
  • a lecture hall for several hundred participants,
  • facilities for coffee breaks, and
  • a hall for poster sessions.
    
• In terms of participant amenities, these include
  • affordable housing options/recommendations,
  • provisions for coffee breaks,
  • reliable internet connectivity,
  • maps and recommendations for local travel and entertainment, and
  • a banquet and an excursion.
