In March 2024, the Fama-Miller Center held the first RP Reunion Conference which featured presentations by former FMC research professionals who have completed their PhD programs and are now junior faculty. The event also honored the memory of Livia Amato, one of the center's former RPs who passed away in 2023, with tributes by some of the Booth faculty she worked with.
The organizers consisted of Professors Anil Kashyap, Lubos Pastor, Quentin Vandeweyer and Constantine Yannelis. The next conference is planned for March 2026.
