Important Advisory for 2018 ICFP Registrants
Please be advised that we have become aware that another organization is promoting and advertising a conference using the acronym ICFP and calling itself the International Conference on Family Planning. This is not related to our event in any way.
Our website, fpconference.org, and our official ICFP social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) are the only sources of information about the fifth International Conference on Family Planning, taking place in Rwanda in November 2018 and co-hosted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, based in the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Rwanda.
When the time comes to submit an abstract and/or register, please be careful to submit your materials through our website, fpconference.org.
If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact us at info@fpconference.org.
ICFP Registration Trouble-shooting Tips:
1) Double-check that you’ve completed entry for all required fields marked with an asterisk (registration category, hotel information, arrival and departure dates, etc)
2) On page 2, make sure that you’ve selected “registration” as the item to purchase, and select “save and update” to continue to the next page where you will complete registration (hint: click “save and update” on every page to proceed in the registration module)
3) On page 3, make sure that you have selected the correct payment method
4) If you’ve received an invoice, double-check that “registration” is listed on your invoice. If the invoice simply says “Amount Due: $0.00” you need to go back to page 2 to select “registration” as the item to purchase.
5) On the “Review and Checkout” page, make sure that you hit the “Pay” button, and that you receive a confirmation email shortly thereafter.
6) If you’ve completed registration you should be able to log in to your registration, go to the final page of registration, and select a PDF to print your invitation letter and invoice (invitation letter found on second page of the invoice).
7) Even if you have not received a confirmation email, you can check your registration status by clicking the PDF button on the final page of the registration portal.
8) Your registration is not complete unless you see a green bar stating “Registration status: complete” at the top-righthand corner of the registration portal.
