DI Users Conference

2008 Overview  Pre-Conference   Costs   Hotel

The DI Users Conference (UC) is an annual event that provides DI's trauma registry users with unique software training and networking opportunities. Led by DI's manangement and support teams, the event features lecture and hands-on learning workshops, discussion sessions and informational guest speaker presentations and extensive networking opportunities.

The first UC was held in Toronto, Canada in August of 1995. That first year, 14 users of the Collector Trauma Registry software initiated what has become the the highlight of the year. Now in its 14th year, attendance at the event is consistently well-over the 200 mark!As attendance has grown DI has been able to offer more options during each training session in order to meet the diverse needs of our registry users!

There are many reasons so many people return for the conference each year. Learning new skills, refreshing skills, and gaining insight as to how their colleagues are handling issues similar to their own are just a few. In addition, the opportunities to renew friendships and experience the multitude of cities that have served as our host are also popular reasons to come back. Often there is so much to see and do that many conference attendees arrive a few days early and stay an extra day or two making the most of their travel time.

Conference Overview

Spokane, WA

Spokane, WA is a quaint town on the eastern border of Washington state. Upon arrival at the calm and uncongested airport, you'll have about a 15-minute ride to the hotel. The colorful autumn scenery will be just the first of many enjoyable memories you will have of your Spokane experience. The hometown folks are extremely friendly and the shopping is grand. Restaurants feature local specialties such as trout, salmon, Alaskan king crab and elegant wines from numerous local vineyards (which also make for an excellent daytip destination).

The conference hotel is located on just a few minutes walk from downtown's nightlife activities- a theater, several dance clubs and low key pubs will provide evening destinations for the likes of any conference attendee. Walkers and joggers can enjoy a change of pace to their daily exercise regime by spending some time on Centennial Trail, which is accessible just outside the hotel door. Attending the conference also provides an excellent opportunity to stay an extra day or two and explore the many hiking areas, spas, wineries and other tourist activities that are nearby.

The Conference

The Annual DI Users Conference will feature an extensive list of training workshops, informational sessions and networking opportunities. Sessions are planned for users of the Collector Trauma Registry, the NTRACS Trauma and NTRACS Burn Registries, and the DI Outcomes Registry. Several guest speaker presentations will once again be on the agenda, as well. The event is a forum through which you can increase your registry skills, report writing skills and discover how to make a significant positive impact on local, regional, national and international trauma programs.

Registry personnel working in trauma and burn centers of all levels can gain valuable knowledge listening to presentations by industry leaders and through lecture and hands-on training workshops. (Review workshop descriptions)

Continuing Education Credit: DI is once again applying for approved to award continuing education credit through the American Nursing Credentialing Council. Attendees will receive a certificate of completion which lists the total number of CEU's awarded.

"Networking Night" Networking night has become a favorite activity. We'll meet after the first full conference day's sessions, relax and enjoy some specialties of the great northwest!
