Candidates, congressional staffers, lawyers, accountants, consultants and political committee staff are invited to register for the sessions, which will be held at the FEC, 999 E Street, NW, Washington, DC. FEC staff will facilitate the sessions.

Registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Prepayment by credit card is required. Please call or e-mail the FEC before registering to ensure there is space in the session you wish to attend. Download the registration form, then fax it to the FEC to sign up for a session. (The form is also available from Faxline, the FEC's automated fax system. Call 202/501-3413 and request document 590.) If a workshop sells out, the FEC will maintain a waiting list in the event there are cancellations.
