This year’s conference also offers specialized tracks with the latest developments on topics such as diabetes and private practice, while also offering attendees skills-focused sessions to aid in career advancement.

The Academy had hoped and planned for FNCE® in New Orleans this year; however, health authorities do not anticipate we will have achieved the national levels of immunity needed to safely hold FNCE® in person. As we move into another year of the pandemic, the Academy remains committed to gathering in person when it is safe for everyone—which means another year of opportunity to gather virtually Oct. 16 – 19, 2021. The Academy is excited to innovate, educate and celebrate as we make virtual environment accessible to nutrition and dietetics professionals around the world.
While ensuring everyone’s health and welfare continues to be the primary consideration, the Academy is committed to returning to an in-person FNCE® as soon as it is safe and advisable. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando, Fla., in 2022.
