Get ready to maximize your National Funding Conference experience! Our new scheduling app ELFA Event Networking, powered by Brella, is launching soon. With it, you can connect with funding sources and fellow attendees, book one-on-one meetings, and create your custom schedule before you even arrive at the conference. 

Funding Sources, you should have received your invitation to set up your company profile and virtual booth in the app. Please check your spam folder as well. The email comes from [email protected] with a subject line of "37TH ANNUAL NATIONAL FUNDING CONFERENCE has added you as their partner". If you haven't received your invitation, please contact Shirley Bryant at [email protected].
