New Conference Attendee Orientation
4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Created especially for first-time attendees. Since many new ECOA members attend the annual conference, and there are a number of first-time conference participants, we invite you to a special orientation session to learn more about the Ethics & Compliance Officer Association and our largest conference of the year. This is a perfect time to: (1) begin networking with other ECOA members; (2) learn more about ECOA programs, services, and benefits, and; (3) learn how to navigate the conference so that it maximally meets your interests and needs. It's also a good time to meet members of the ECOA staff and board. We look forward to meeting you!
