Conference
Don't forget to register for ANAC2020!
Registration is now open for ANAC2020. We are looking forward to a great conference and will be sharing more information on speakers and the agenda in the upcoming weeks. We are excited to announce this year's abstract oral session themes: PrEP, Global Health, Special/Underrepresented Populations and Clinician Education and Professional Development. Click here to view the most recent version of the conference agenda, which will be updated regularly as speakers and sessions are confirmed.
Submit a remembrance for this year's Celebration of Life
Each year at conference, attendees gather to celebrate and memorialize people, usually a colleague or special patient, who they've lost recently. This year, our virtual Celebration of Life will look a little different. We are putting together a compilation of remembrances, photos and tributes for attendees to view online.
Is there someone from the ANAC family, a colleague, patient or other special person you want to note and remember? Please contact Erin Myers at erin@anacnet.org to add your tribute to this year's Celebration of Life .
