It’s that time of year again—the time when we start to count down to the 2016 ACDIS conference (which takes place May 23-26, in Atlanta) by chatting with a few of our speakers about their sessions, offering information about conference-related events, and reminding attendees about upcoming deadlines. This week’s updates include:
- A Q&A with pre-conference speakers Richard Pinson, MD, FACP, CCS, and Cynthia Tang, RHIA, CCS, CDI specialists and authors of the authoritative, best-selling CDI Pocket Guide whose session will focus on practical tips for cross-discipline team building. To read the full Q&A with the speakers, visit the ACDIS Blog.
- A deadline extension for the CDI Professional of the Year and new ACDIS Achievement Awards.
- Call for additional exhibitors. More than 50 exhibitors are expected at the 2016 conference. Attendees learn as much from vendor expertise as they do during sessions; visit the website to learn more about our sponsorship opportunities.
- Registration deadlines: The early bird conference registration deadline ends March 22 and the deadline for the hotel discount rate ends April 21.
