Expanding your network of professional colleagues has never been easier or more enjoyable. This spring, clinical pharmacists from throughout the United States will come together for the 2010 ACCP Spring Practice and Research Forum and Updates in Therapeutics: The Pharmacotherapy Preparatory Course. Be a part of this event, April 23–27, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In addition to superior educational programming, the Spring Practice and Research Forum offers participants many opportunities for casual networking with fellow pharmacists. This year’s Spring Practice and Research Forum features an Opening Reception on Friday night in the Piedmont Ballroom of the Hilton Charlotte Center City, the headquarters hotel for the meeting. All meeting attendees are welcome to attend and spend the evening mingling with colleagues and old friends while enjoying hors d’oeuvres and refreshments.
ACCP PRNs will host business meetings and networking forums on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. You do not have to be a member of a PRN to attend. Many of these events offer informal roundtable discussions or poster presentations, in addition to time for both socializing and networking. Saturday lunchtime PRN meetings will be held by the Adult Medicine, Ambulatory Care, Clinical Administration, Education and Training, Nephrology, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics, and Pediatrics PRNs. On Sunday evening, meetings will be held by the Cardiology, Central Nervous System, Geriatrics, and Health Outcomes PRNs. During lunchtime on Monday, the Critical Care, Drug Information, Infectious Diseases, and Pharmaceutical Industry PRNs will hold their meetings.
On Monday night, after the Scientific Poster Presentations, grab some newfound friends and take the time to find out why Restaurant News Magazine named Charlotte one of the “Top 50 Cities that Sizzle.” With more than 150 dining options within walking distance of the Charlotte Convention Center, including urban bistros, display kitchens, tapas, sushi, soul food, swanky outdoor patios, and casual diners, finding a place to enjoy the atmosphere of Charlotte is simple. Charlotte is also home to Johnson & Wales Culinary School, and the city’s restaurants employ many of the country’s new, exciting culinary talents offering innovative and original cuisines.
