To take advantage of the Pioneer Network’s extended “early bird” registration rate for its 10th National Conference of Culture Change, people must register by June 15.
This year’s annual conference, entitled “Meeting at the Crossroads,” will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from August 8 through August 11.
The event will showcase innovative thought and best practices in the long-term care culture change movement. It will also provide an opportunity for all stakeholders interested in culture change to network and learn from other attendees’ experience.
The Pioneer Network is also offering a reduced rate called the “Culture Change Team Special” to four or more registrants who attend from the same address, a response to previous conference participants’ feedback about the value of having several team members attend. A limited number of partial and full scholarships (pdf) are also available.
Continuing Education Credits are available for an additional fee. The Pioneer Network has applied for credits for administrators, nurses, social workers, and activity professionals.
