Covid restrictions permitting, the meeting will be held in-person at the Grand Hyatt Washington hotel. Otherwise the meeting will be in either virtual or hybrid format. A decision on that will be made by late Summer. Because of the format uncertainty, registration is not yet open. Updates on registration will be posted on the FPA web site: https://fusionpower.org and click on Annual Meeting, Agenda and Registration.
