DI Users Conference
September 30 - October 2, 2009
Baltimore, MD
Pre-Conference sessions will be offered on Wednesday,
September 30th.
UC2009 Agendas & Registration
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 management 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 heading
into our 15th 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. |

Baltimore, MD
The Baltimore Inner Harbor is one of America's oldest
seaports and welcomes bustling crowds and goods from around the world. The
harbor is within walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants, night life
and other activities such as Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Pier Six Concert
Pavilion, and the National Aquarium. A water taxi service connects the Inner
Harbor to several other local attractions and night life areas including Fells
Point, Canton, and Fort McHenry.
The conference location this year is located conveniently
in the heart of Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor at the Hyatt Regency.
This is a prime location and happening spot as everything you will need and
want is only a few steps away.
The Conference
New training sessions, industry specific workshops and
guest speaker presentations are planned for the 2009 conference as well as
several requested favorite workshops loaded with new examples. Special
workshops will also focus on the needs of regional, state, and central-site
personnel as well as for those who work with the software from a technical
support perspective. Workshops will be available for Collector, NTRACS trauma,
and Outcomes registry software products. 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.

relax and enjoy some "Balmer" charm! |
