Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Guidelines International Network (G-I-N), the local host Kaiser Permanente, and the Scientific Committee we extend a warm invitation for you to attend the 10th G-I-N Conference that will be held in San Francisco, California, USA, on 18-21 August 2013.
G-I-N is truly a global organization whose mission is to lead, strengthen and support collaboration and work within the guideline development, adaptation, and implementation community. The annual G-I-N Conference is a critical event for accomplishing the organization's mission. The conference attracts colleagues from around the world who seek to further enhance their ability to develop rigorous, high-quality clinical practice guidelines with their available resources. As a result, the level of discourse from the opening plenary to the workshops, oral presentations and poster sessions, and through the closing remarks is incredibly thought-provoking and practice changing.
The G-I-N 2013 theme is, "Integrating Evidence into Practice - Strategies for the Future". The conference will be a unique venue for learning from worldwide attendees who will share their knowledge and experiences regarding guideline development, dissemination, adaptation and, especially, implementation. The opportunities to learn and grow will extend to ongoing collaborative relationships with new and old colleagues across disciplines from all over the world who share our daily challenges. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity in 2013 to develop and strengthen lasting professional relationships with people from a variety of countries and organizations.
We eagerly await all of your abstract submissions and strongly encourage you to register for the conference early!
