SALIS will convene its 2012 conference
hosted by Stephanie
Asteriadis and Marie Tully of the Nevada
Prevention Resource Center at the University
of Nevada, Reno campus. The conference itself will be held
on campus; attendees will stay at the
Silver
Legacy Resort Casino, a landmark in downtown Reno.
Conference organizers have negotiated a very favorable
hotel rate to make this event affordable.
The theme of the 2.5 day conference is "Stepping Out of Our Silos: Creating Partnerships, Building Capacity, Delivering Information," with presentations of interest to information specialists as well as those working in the prevention and treatment fields. We will also devote time during the conference to SALIS committees and special interest groups that represent the diverse interests of our membership. In addition, a free pre-conference workshop with free CEUs on “Access to Effective Healthcare” will be held at the conference site on May 22, 2012. This opportunity is being offered to conference attendees who need continuing education hours, so watch the conference page for a list of speakers that will be posted soon.
