Practicing social distancing is a must during the COVID-19 outbreak. But that doesn’t mean education and networking must stop. In fact, they’re more important than ever.

Please join us June 17-19 for Staying Engaged: ACDIS Presents Virtual Education and Community. Earn valuable CEUs, receive a part of the same educational sessions you’ve come to love at the ACDIS conference, and network with your colleagues and peers in a series of moderated chats—all from the easy-to-use conference app, that you’ve come to know and love!

Attendees of this one-of-a-kind event will receive ongoing access to all educational sessions, and the opportunity to network long after the event ends through ongoing app access. Learn, stay in touch with the CDI community, and help support your professional association—all in one convenient, easy-to-use package.
