IDIO Conference Update: Given the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to NOT hold the in-person Improving Data, Improving Outcomes (IDIO) conference this August. We are considering alternatives which may include postponing the conference to a later date, having virtual presentations, or some combination of these options. We will update this site as new plans develop.
