Thank you to everyone who attended the 2022 Annual Symposium, both in-person and virtually.  We hope that the group session speakers, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities provided you with valuable learnings and benefits that you can implement.  We were excited to have 113 attendees this year! Holding a combined in-person and virtual conference was a new experience. While Day 1 was not without its challenges, we appreciate everyone’s input on improvements and believe the final two days of the symposium went much better.  We are always looking for ways to improve, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to any PPA Steering Committee member with your ideas/suggestions for help make 2023 even better.

 

MAKE PLANS NOW FOR 2023!  The 34th Annual Procedure Symposium will be on June 20 – June 22, 2023. We will be at the historic DeSoto hotel in beautiful Savannah, GA. Plans are to offer PPA Writer Certification Training on Monday, June 19th and Friday, June 23rd.

 

If you have speakers or topics that you would like covered, please send that to our Director, Annual Symposium [email protected].
