Welcome to the Alliance 2022 Annual Conference! We are thrilled to gather again in person in Aurora, Colorado, and online via Alliance Live. After a morning of pre-conference workshops and an afternoon meeting with member sections, our healthcare continuing professional development community celebrated with the Après-Ski Welcome Reception. The reception, sponsored by Healio CME, was a true Colorado celebration, as participants were encouraged to show off their coziest ski lodge attire to help us kick off the Alliance’s first in-person gathering of the new year. This set the tone for an exciting, educational four days of innovative learning and reconnection.
