Message from William L. Roy, CDT, CDLI President
Dear Attendees:
Welcome to the 21st Annual Mid-West Spring Technical Meeting!
The needs of our industry are changing practically on a daily basis. More and
more, technology is enhancing our industry with the addition of digital imaging,
new software applications and we've created a meeting centered around the Digital
Journey that lies ahead in the laboratory of tomorrow.
Getting quality speakers to address all of these issues isn't easy. Each year, we
strive to bring you the best speakers in the industry to cover the latest topics and
issues that lab owners and technicians encounter every day in the lab. We've also
gathered 60 exhibitors leading the way to bring you the latest in technology, products
and services that will enhance the work you do at the bench and in your
business. So mark your calendars and join over 1,000 of your peers in a weekend
that will prepare you for this Digital Journey that lies ahead.
We have taken great care and study into selecting the topics of interest for you.
You may have noticed we've cut back on the number of clinicians and courses we
offer so that we can repeat more of the high-profile sessions. You suggested this
and we listened! And as always, by attending this value-packed meeting, you
have the ability to earn all of your required Continuing Education credits for the
year in just one weekend!
You may notice some other changes this year. Good, you're paying attention!
Perhaps some of these changes will stimulate you towards an idea that we haven't
implemented yet. If so, we want to hear about it! We have been working hard to
"spruce up" the meeting, but your input is important. So, let us know what you
think!
New this year is the addition of a Keynote Speaker to kick off the weekend. We've
brought in former Formula 1 and Indy Car driver Derek Daly. Derek is an entrepreneur,
businessman, as well as a TV and ratio personality. He has dined with
royalty and cheated death three times. Derek will provide some straight-forward
and powerful stories from his experiences in racing to demonstrate how you can
succeed, adapt to change, overcome obstacles, and most of all work as a part of a
team. You won't want to miss out on this one!
But we haven't taken out the tried and true fun that has always been a part of this
meeting. The annual golf scramble will be offered once again this year. The course
is newly renovated, so weather permitting, it will be a great outing! And as always,
you won't want to miss the Friday Welcome Party. You can kick back, mingle with
peers and dance the night away! We will also offer the written CDT certification
exam on Sunday, so sharpen your pencils and show us what you've learned. You
are the future of the industry!!
So treat this weekend of education and technology as a meal, or should I say several
meals. That is to say, go ahead and enjoy as you nibble on a clinic, or sample
what goes into making this meeting a success by becoming a volunteer. Perhaps
you prefer the smorgasbord of a HANDS ON clinic or like the buffet where you can
have it all and catch up with old friends. Any way you like it, you can gorge yourself
by doing it all. Go ahead, that's what we're here forÉthere's enough to go
around, we promise we won't run out!
Enjoy the weekend and remember if you learn ONE thing you'll use in your work,
it's worth it! And on your way out, be sure to thank a Director or volunteer. They've
worked hard all year to put this weekend together for professionals like you!
