Looking Forward
The Academy's overall goal in selecting a FNCE host city is finding a location that fits the annual meeting and maximizes the attendance. A few of the goals that drive FNCE planning are:
 
1. Choosing the highest rated cities that is also fiscally responsible.
 
2. FNCE must be in the month of October. One of the key elements was being consistent each year. Our members need to be able to count on FNCE being in October (we could change, but, in doing so, all FNCE dates should change). This has not happened in the past. FNCE has been, in recent years, in September, October and November. As we add and subtract cities, we were successful in meeting this goal.
 
3. Begin the process of a five year rotation. Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, DC and Boston repeat twice over the next fifteen years. In order to leverage better deals with the convention bureaus and hotels, these cities provided options on future years. Since most of these locations have historically high attendance and profitable locations, choosing these cities to become a part of any rotation made financial sense and met our criteria. In the event something changes, we can adjust the future agreements to allow for other cities. If our goal is to increase attendance and profitability, the Academy will need to determine which cities should fill in the remaining rotation.
 
The Academy has contracted for dates and space for future FNCE events.
