Thank you to all who joined us in Marrakech!  350 people from 60 countries attended, making the Fulbright Association's 29th Annual Conference one of the largest and most international conferences ever hosted by the Association. 

If you weren't able to make the conference in Marrakech, we encourage you to browse through this section of our site, as we have posted a video of Martti Ahtisaari's keynote address, several of the presentations, and photos taken by conference attendees.

The Fulbright Association and the Moroccan Fulbright Alumni Association joined forces, and together with the Moroccan American Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange and the U.S. Department of State, organized five days of programming for Fulbright alumni from around the world. 

A special thank you goes to our co-sponsors, whose support made possible the exciting conference program.

This site is maintained by the Fulbright Association, however some program information for the Moroccan Fulbright Alumni Association conference (Nov. 6 & 7) is integrated into this site.  For detailed information on the MFAA conference, please visit the MFAA web site at http://www.fulbright-alumni.ma.

In conjunction with the two conferences, the Fulbright Association, with the support of the U.S. Department of State, sponsored a global Fulbright alumni technical assistance seminar for representatives of national Fulbright alumni associations and alumni groups in the process of developing associations.  Please contact for more information on this project.
