The 2021 ACDIS Conference is all about stepping forward together, one day at a time, one step at a time.

In addition to education on critical CDI updates and best practice you’ve come to expect, the 2021 ACDIS Conference is bringing you a trio of special sessions lead by three inspirational keynote speakers intended to get you motivated and continuing to step forward.

Take a look at the dynamic keynote speakers leading off each day of the 2021 ACDIS Conference.

"Stepping Forward: The Courage to Continue"   In this session Nicole Fox, a trauma surgeon, surgical intensivist and medical director of CDI for Cooper University Health Care, discusses experiences and lessons learned on the front lines of the pandemic, and offers strategies to enhance one’s ability to evolve, adapt, and thrive in times of personal and professional upheaval. This session will help both the CDI professional in the audience as well as offer ideas to take back to your organization’s medical staff.

“The What IF? Keynote Experience.” Every major invention, accomplishment and victory in human history began with the simple, almost childlike curiosity of a “What If…?” question - “What if we could? I know we can’t, but what if we could?” International keynote artist, Mike Rayburn, will share three simple, powerful tools which took him from playing empty bars, to headlining Carnegie Hall (eight times!). They work for anyone. And everyone. Always.

“Where You Look is Where You’ll Go.” On February 14, 2014, Noelle Pikus Pace crossed the finish line at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia and finally earned an Olympic medal- but it wasn’t an easy road. She learned through her trials the importance of setting specific goals each and every day in an effort to progress forward. The audience will walk away, recognizing that it is those small decisions we make daily that will shape our habits and who we will inevitably become.
