Thank You For A Wonderful Weekend in Dallas
2013 Conference Set For Atlanta
 We would like to thank the more than 500 people who attended this year's National Patient Education Conference in Dallas, including the many volunteers, sponsors, speakers, chapter and support group leaders...and you! You helped us make the 2012 conference one of the BEST ever! Conference organizers also would like to recognize the outstanding service from the staff at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Conference Center, as well as PSAV, throughout the weekend. We wouldn't have been able to put on such a huge event without your assistance and expertise!
CEO Robert J. Riggs announced during Saturday's awards banquet that the 2013 conference will be held in Atlanta. So, we hope you will save the date for Friday, July 26, through Sunday, July 28, 2013.
How to Request Workshop Materials
In case you weren't able to attend the conference, or missed out on some sessions, we have presentations available. Just call our office at (800) 722-4673 and we can print them out to mail to you, or we can email the information to you.
Many of the most popular sessions were videotaped. Stay tuned to the weekly eLetter to learn when these sessions will be available online to watch on-demand.
