You can attend the symposium remotely or in-person. Your choice! For the ones who attend in-person, we have some succulent Jimmy John's sandwiches for lunch. For the ones who attend remotely, we have some awesome social time with Airmeet.

Overview:

We are excited to welcome our two keynote speakers, Stephanie Fitchett of Transamerica and Melissa Haendel, the new Chief Research Informatics Officer at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School.
