Conference update: Speaker application period extended till September 25
The deadline for speaker submissions for the 2018 ACDIS 11th Annual Conference has been extended due to the devastation brought by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The new deadline is September 25. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who live and work in the affected areas.
The conference will be held May 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. Based on the learning needs identified by participants of the successful 2017 ACDIS Conference, several topics have emerged as areas of great interest within the ACDIS community, including two new tracks—outpatient CDI and pediatric CDI. Accepted speakers and co-presenters will have their admission fee waived.

Please note that the 2018 application period has closed.
Here are some helpful tips regarding the application process:
- You will need to create a login for your account and a passcode will be emailed to you.
- You do not need to complete your application in one sitting. You can save and exit and return to complete the application.
- You may submit more than one proposal.
- Only one presentation example may be uploaded per proposal.
- If you plan on having more than two presenters, please indicate that fact in the synopsis section of the proposal.
We seek speakers to present on all aspects of clinical documentation improvement (CDI). Advanced CDI sessions geared for mature programs are particularly welcome and will receive additional consideration but the 2018 Conference Committee also seeks to meet the needs of those new to the profession and those at an intermediate level.

CDI and/or HIM/coding professionals typically present at ACDIS, but we also welcome practicing physicians, case management and quality personnel, healthcare auditors, lawyers, and other professionals with a tie to or an interest in CDI.
We look forward to hearing your ideas on making the 2018 the best conference yet!
