Orlando
2019 Annual Conference
**IHFDA has secured 20.0 continuing education credits for attendees**
The IHFDA Executive Board wants to thank all of the attendees at our 4th annual conference just completed in Orlando, Florida. We feel it was the best agenda so far with some incredible attendees who were eager to learn more from the presenters. We also had a record number of exhibitors and made many new friends.
We also announced our 5th annual conference in Chicago, September 28-30, 2020. The Westin at O’Hare is the host hotel and we are starting to plan already for this conference. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend.
We are also planning to open up a “Call for Presentations” again that will start November 1st. There were several attendees who expressed interest in submitting a presentation or poster for the Chicago conference.
