Conference could be an all-virtual event
In an email, the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) reminds HTM professionals and other health care professionals to save the date for AAMI Exchange 2021, set for June 4–7, 2021 in Charlotte, NC. The email contains lots of information and mentions that the 2021 conference could be a virtual event.
“While we remain optimistic and would like to return safely to meeting in-person, the health and safety of all who attend is our top priority,” the email reads. “As we explore what it will mean to hold an in-person event, AAMI will continue to place high importance on providing measures that will ensure optimal health and adhere to sanitary guidelines. We are also exploring options to facilitate a hybrid meeting that includes in-person as well as virtual components, with contingency plans being made if the annual meeting must be held fully virtual. We will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at both the global and local levels. Visit the #Exchange2021 website for more information and resources.”
The email also states, “During these challenging times, our communities are a needed source of strength, solidarity, and rejuvenation—only together can we pave the way forward. The AAMI community will come together again next June at AAMI Exchange 2021, an opportunity to connect with colleagues new and old, share stories of how healthcare technology is evolving, to power emerging innovations, and to refine our norms as an industry to adapt to a changing world. AAMI Exchange 2021 will be a new kind of conference experience, and we hope you’ll join us!”
“The AAMI Exchange is the premier health technology event bringing together the entire community of AAMI stakeholders – biomedical and clinical engineers, technicians, cybersecurity and sterilization experts, hospital administrators and managers, and the industry’s leading service and solution providers,” it states. “The AAMI Exchange provides a forum for broad conversations among these stakeholders on the ever-changing industry of medical technology.”
