2006 Assets Learning Conference Recap
More than 1,000 participants shared lessons and innovation, and enjoyed countless opportunities for networking and learning. CFED aims to continue this information sharing by providing presentations, handouts, and other resources for download.

2004 IDA learning conference

Like its predecessors, the 2004 IDA Learning Conference - held last year in New Orleans, Louisiana - provided an excellent forum for the presentation and exchange of ideas about the ever-expanding asset-building field. 

Many of last year's presenters have been kind enough to share their conference presentations, talking points, or other supporting documents, and we have posted them here.  If you have conference materials that you would like posted, please send them to awatts@cfed.org.

Additionally, to help guide your search, below you will also find the complete agenda (as well as presenter biographies, both as downloadable pdf files) from the 2004 IDA Learning Conference.
