The abstract submission period for the upcoming IFD&TC program has now closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted an abstract.

The program team is hard at work reviewing the submissions. Registration opens later this year. Hotel reservations can be made now on our hotel info page.

We are now accepting nominations for the Rita Koontz Memorial Scholarship, which covers the conference registration fee for an early-career attendee. Nominations are due February 2nd.

If you have questions, please contact Registrars Marie Nitschke and Kevin Tharp to learn more.


The IFD&TC provides a unique forum for government, academic institutions and other survey agencies to informally communicate with each other. Attendees include field directors, field technicians and survey managers. There are no membership dues and the only activity is our annual conference.
