| Dear CDI professional, Time is running out to apply to speak at one of ACDIS' in-person 2024 events! The application period for those interested in speaking at the 2024 ACDIS national conference (held April 8-11, 2024, in Indianapolis), the ACDIS Physician Advisor Forum, and the ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI (which both directly preceding the conference on April 7-8, 2024) closes on Monday, July 31! Being an ACDIS speaker provides you with many benefits, including free admission to the event for selected speakers. (Note that up to two speakers per session can get free admission.) Speakers also are afforded opportunities to advance your professional development, share your knowledge with a supportive and engaged audience, and give back to the profession, whether you’re new on the podium or a veteran speaker! To get started, complete the online form, which is available here (or copy/paste this address into your browser: https://acdis.org/24speaker.) If your presentation is selected, the information you provide will be used in the agenda, so please remember to do the following: Submit a complete proposal, answering all questions included in the application. Use proper letter/sentence casing so that the data is clean and easily readable. Include an up-to-date biographical paragraph. Complete all your contact information, so that we can both reach you and validate your registration details. Include a draft of your slide presentation, if possible, as this may increase your chances of being selected! Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis for the 2024 in-person live events and may also be considered for future virtual events. Submissions are reviewed by the ACDIS Events Committee and ACDIS staff. Tip: Many applicants find it easier to write their responses in a Word document, editing the responses until they are happy with the information, and then copying and pasting it into the online form. For an hour-long session, you’ll need to prepare a 45-minute presentation. The last 15 minutes of the session will be reserved for Q&A. You are welcome to submit more than one session but must complete a separate form for each submission. If you are applying to present with one or more co-speakers, please note that you will be required to submit basic info about them during the application process, so be sure to have your colleague's contact information ready at hand. If you’ve been wanting to share your advice with the CDI community and develop as a professional, now is your chance! The application closes on Monday, July 31. If you'd like more information, or you wish to discuss a speaking topic, please reach out! Click here to submit an application! All the best,
The ACDIS team
