The International Field Directors and Technologies Conference (IFD&TC)

Many thanks to all who attended the 2026! It is the continued participation from so many talented individuals and organizations that make the conference a success, year after year.

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.
