In less than two weeks, the SIIM Annual Meeting will be taking place at the newly opened Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado. I am looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones, along with learning lots of new information.

This year, I am (co-)chairing three sessions and participating in a fourth. Here is a summary (my role). All times are in local MT.

• Wed 26-Jun 4:15 pm – Surviving in the Remote World: Off-Site Reading (Participant)
• Thu 27-Jun 4:15 pm – Building the Right Team for Success in the Consolidated Enterprise (Co-chair)
• Fri 28-Jun 9:45 am – For Project Leaders: Preparing for Successful Contract Negotiation (Chair)
• Fri 28-Jun 1:15 pm – IHE XDS – Dispelling Myth from Reality (Chair)

If it is your first annual meeting, I recommend you go to the First Time Attendee Meet-up on Tue 25-Jun at 6:15 pm in the Adams C/D Lobby room and attend the New Member Orientation: Intro to SIIM session on Wed 26-Jun at 9:45 am. Jim and Rick are great educators and mentors.

Also, be sure to check out the pre-conference sessions, the Hackathon and Innovation Challenge events, as well as the #AskIndustry, Learning Lab, and Scientific sessions. And be sure to put the SIIM 2019 Reception on your calendar. It is great to connect with peers and review the scientific posters.

While you are on-site, don’t forget to share information and activities (and selfies!) using the SIIM Twitter handle @SIIM_Tweets (remember to follow SIIM for great info on imaging informatics throughout the year!) and the official 2019 Annual Meeting hashtag: #SIIM19.

I hope to see you there!
