FACM 2023
Program Schedule
All FACM conference activities will take place inside the Central King Building (CKB) on campus at NJIT. Please use the Summit Street entrance to check in with staff members and volunteers. Breakfast and lunch for both days will be provided in CKB 116. All plenary talks and minisymposia will take place in CKB 303 with coffee breaks around the corner on the same floor. Posters will be displayed on the first floor's gallery space and lounge, close to the Summit Street entrance and front desk.
