Annual Conference
The Associate and Affiliate Members of EFI meet each year at our Annual Conferences.
The Associate Members have a right of vote at the Conference and approve matters such as audited financial materials and work plans, and make decisions on the future plans and activities of EFI.
The Annual Conference consists of a technical annual conference, where decisions are made. The rules governing this part of the meeting are the Conference Rules of Procedure. The second day is often dedicated to science, and the third day takes the participants on an excursion.
