A primary objective for the 2008 event is to attract more general practitioners and to offer presentations targeted to their specific professional interests and needs. Registration for BC Nephrology Days 2008 begins in June, but in the meantime, you’ll hear more about our plans.
Last year’s event was the most successful Nephrology Days conference ever, attracting more registrations and more sponsorship dollars than any of the years previous. Feedback from people who attended the 2007 conference was also extremely positive. Nearly three-quarters of attendees had been to a previous Nephrology Days conference, and 82 percent of attendees said they would attend a future conference. Regarding the scope of information presented at the 2007 conference, 94 percent of attendees rated it good or excellent, while 92 percent said the quality of the presentations was good or excellent, and 95 percent said the quality of the guest speakers was good or excellent. Perhaps most importantly, 88 percent of attendees felt the conference had value for improving their professional effectiveness.
The annual BC Nephrology Days conference brings together renal care and other professionals from BC and across North America to discuss the latest research, trends, clinical treatment breakthroughs, and other subjects concerning improvements to renal care.
