Some comments from attendees were:

"Well conducted, good topics, and contemporary issues - good venue and arrangements - compelling topics - FEAC™ is becoming a natural network based on shared interest and competence."

"Hearing practitioner updates - network with others."

"Opportunity to catch up with current thinking - interact with industry leaders."

"Enjoyed mix of Fed and DoD, knowledge of speakers good, session were good length, lunch was delicious."

FEAC™ sponsors an Alumni Symposium for all its graduates every year (the last two in June) to provide our CEAs with continuing updates about Federal EA and refreshment of topical information in the practice and profession of EA in general. FEAC™ realizes that the field of EA is continuing to change, rapidly, and nowhere more that in the US Federal Government. The CEA Symposium is an opportunity for our graduates to get together and interact on topics of mutual interest, helping them stay current on where EA is evolving and where it may be headed. The Next CEA Symposium in 2009 will be combined with an EA Conference including an Alumni Banquet. Stay tuned for more soon on this.
