A reminder to please attend, and especially consider presenting at our second annual “Mistakes” event at the 74th Annual AIC Meeting this year, a lunch session 12-2 PM on Friday, May 17th. As in last year’s event, colleagues will share their experiences to benefit our professional community. We aim to foster a healthier and more realistic attitude so that when things do go wrong, we can “Fail Productively,” as discussed in a recent New York Times article<https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/17/smarter-living/talking-about-failure-is-crucial-for-growth-heres-how-to-do-it-right.html?nytapp=true&smid=nytcore-ios-share>. We will gather over a delicious lunch and share our stories—which can include treatment, communication, and project management errors, mishaps, and accidents—with the goal of helping our colleagues to not repeat them. You will need to purchase a ticket for this lunch, but prices will be relatively low thanks to our generous sponsor the Bruker Corporation.
Please consider stepping up to the podium--we need participants! You can present for up to 5 minutes. If you prefer to remain anonymous or are unable to attend the event in person, we are happy to organize a reader to present on your behalf. If you are interested in participating, or have questions about the event, please contact Tony Sigel at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, Kari Rayner, at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or Rebecca Gridley at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> by April 20th. [GR1]<applewebdata://B2AE26AA-E64C-41F4-8993-B0686BC260C3#_msocom_1> We simply ask for 2-3 quick sentences introducing your topic and to know whether you plan to use a PowerPoint with images and/or video. We hope to see you there!
