Notes
- A Federal Fiscal Year (FY) is the 12-month period that starts the Saturday after the last Friday of September and ends the last Friday of September. Most years our fiscal year workload reports contain 52 weeks since we include only full weeks, rather than cut off in the middle of a week. Every few years the reporting period is 53 weeks when we apply the end of week cutoff.
- Single asterisk (*): Conferences where expenses associated with the conference exceeded $100,000.
- Because of COVID-19, we did not sponsor any conferences in FY 2021 or 2022 where the expenses exceeded $100,000, therefore there are no data files for those years.
