CDFM Reception
We are happy to announce that we will be holding a CDFM Reception on Thursday, June 2, from 6-7:30pm in the Crystal Ballroom!
Many thanks to IBM for sponsoring this invitation-only event! Attendance is limited to those who have been awarded CDFM or CDFM-A certification.
The designation “CDFM” or “CDFM-A” on your name badge is your invitation; however, those completing their certification requirements on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday at the PDI are also invited! (Candidates expecting to complete the CDFM should be sure to submit their VFME form before attending PDI, so passing the exams is the last of the requirements.)
Registration is not required but is appreciated. Beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be served. To register, log in to the PDI Registration Update site, click on “Pre-PDI Workshops and Mini-Courses”, check the box for “CDFM Reception,” then click “Save Changes.”
