We will gather and share our cautionary tales, including treatment errors, mishaps and accidents, with the idea of helping our colleagues not to repeat them. We’ve received an encouraging number of submissions so far and would like more!

Participants can speak for up to 5 minutes, or if you prefer to remain anonymous, a reader will be happy to present your tale for you. If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting but would like to submit a tale to be read by one of our organizers or a colleague, please reach out. Powerpoint projection for images/video will be available (16:9 format), and a Dropbox folder will be made available for submissions. Please also bring your presentation on a USB Drive (encouraged). Time permitting, audience members inspired by their colleagues will be welcome to present. If appropriate (and acceptable to the speaker), the floor will be opened up for questions and discussion following presentations. Extra points for suggesting safeguards and solutions! Please note that this is a forum for sharing personal mistakes and solutions only. Participants are requested not to name other persons, organizations, work places, and avoid politics—institutional, national, and global! The event will include a cash bar, so come, relax & unwind, share, laugh, groan, and learn. We plan to publish the event for those who wish to be included.
