Interested in Hosting an FCBA event?

The FCBA greatly appreciates the support of our members’ firms and companies who provide space for our brown bag lunches, committee meetings, and CLE Seminars throughout the year. We are, however, always looking for new locations that can host FCBA events. We will be experimenting with some new presentation technology in future CLE seminars, which require more technical support than we have needed in the past.

In general terms, we need conference rooms that can seat at least 30 (more if possible) people at tables for brown bag lunches and committee meetings and conference rooms that can seat a minimum of 60 for CLE seminars. Firms and companies hosting brown bag lunches provide beverages and desserts; firms and companies hosting CLE seminars provide beverages and snacks. CLE seminars are generally held from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. Additionally, for CLE seminars we need facilities that can provide technology support for microphones for as many as six speakers on a panel, the ability to tie the house sound system into a teleconference bridge, video projection capabilities for PowerPoint presentations, and access to the internet for Webinar services. If your firm or company has the needed conference room facilities and capabilities and would be willing to host future FCBA activities, please email Stan Zenor, [email protected], or Kerry Loughney, [email protected].
