The Pre-Conference check-in period on Wednesday, July 23 is from 8:15 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. in room DA 109, where you will receive your conference materials upon providing your name. If you are not able to attend the check-in area before 9:00 a.m. on July 24, you can proceed to the Opening Ceremony and Keynote, which will be in room DA 103. Then, during the first break, you can obtain your materials from the FCT Help Area in DA 109. All registration fees should be received by us prior to the conference. Anyone attempting to pay on-site will need special permission in advance. A signed purchase order from qualifying U.S. institutions (e.g. accredited schools, military or government offices, etc.) is an acceptable substitute for pre-payment, as long as we receive the signed P.O. before the conference.

Frequently Asked Questions |
1. What airport should I fly into? Where should I stay? What are my options for ground travel? Where should I park? Please review our Travel & Lodging Page.
2. Where should I park? Please refer to the parking map linked at the top of this page.3. What should I wear? Attendees generally dress casually – everything from shorts and t-shirts to 'business casual.' We recommend dressing to be as comfortable as possible; Louisville in late July is typically hot and humid, but the campus buildings are air-conditioned. We also strongly suggest bringing comfortable walking shoes, as the lunch venue is about 200 yards from Davidson Hall, and there may be optional extracurricular activities during evenings.
5. How do the Concurrent Sessions work? All Concurrent Sessions will be held on Saturday, July 26, and you do not need to register for these in advance. For each Concurrent time slot, there will be several sessions to choose from. Concurrent Session descriptions are available here, and will also be available in the printed conference program that you will receive at check-in. Reviewing these descriptions enables you to attend whichever Concurrent Sessions are most relevant to you.
6. How do the Roundtable Discussions work? Roundtable topics are clustered into pairs or groups three. Roundtable Presenters will take their respective turns conducting 10-15 minute presentations, and after all presentations are finished, the discussion will open into a Socratic dialogue among everyone in the circle.![]()
7. What is the closing session? This is a time for all registrants to come together on the last day, to process what you have learned at the conference, and to think about next steps for moving forward. This session will be led by Drs. Linda Elder and Gerald Nosich with input from our Visiting Scholars as well.
