Funding Opportunities:
Our team has a limited amount of funds that we can provide to reimburse only travel and lodging costs. We will be able to provide reimbursements to only a select number of participants who will be presenting in person, subject to their needs and the availability of funding. We ask that you submit the RSVP form by 11:59 PM (PST) on July 7,2022 to allow the executive team enough time to organize the allocation of funds.
Please be advised that if you are traveling from the UK and are receiving travel reimbursement from iFireNet, please reserve your flight with an airline that is either a US carrier or a carrier based in a country that is part of the Open Skies Agreement (Open Skies Agreement with the US for federally-funded international travel). Since the UK is no longer part of the Open Skies Agreement, please do not use a UK-based airline (e.g. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic). Additionally, please avoid using traveler personal points (airline credits, gift cards, etc.) as those can’t be reimbursed.
