IMPORTANT UPDATE: Initially, we planned for two separate ceremonies – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. However, after careful consideration, we have decided to consolidate these into a single ceremony which we believe will enhance our attendees' overall experience.

Convocation will take place from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. We recommend that you arrive 45 minutes early to check-in.

Alongside the ceremony, we will be hosting a reception from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. where our successful CFE writers can celebrate this milestone with family, friends and colleagues.
