KIRSTEN FELL
Dear Industry Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to participate in ARA’s annual in-person meeting which will be at the Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood, Alaska. Preparation is well underway for this robust and engaging 9th annual conference, and while we cannot guarantee an amazing northern lights display such as we experienced last year; this premier Rheumatology event will be one of our best yet. We will once again be offering CME where rheumatologists, along with allied health care professionals from across the state and beyond, will gather to learn from top experts in their specialty. In addition to keeping with tradition of presentations by national rheumatology specialists, we are pleased to increase our bandwidth by adding several presentations outside of rheumatology. By increasing our diversity in this manner, we expect our attendance to grow. This 2.5 day event features not only CME presentations and the opportunity to host a booth, but the ability to attend live presentations and interact with physicians and health care providers. In previous years our attendees have represented approximately 95% of the rheumatology providers from across the state, in addition to other subspecialties. This is an ideal opportunity for your company’s representatives to participate in an event that each year unanimously receives enthusiastic feedback from our industry partners. We anticipate exhibit opportunities to be highly competitive, so don’t delay - register today. If you have any questions, please contact Kirsten Fell, ARA Program and Outreach Director, at kfell@alaskarheumatology.org.
John K. Botson, MD | President and Founder, Alaska Rheumatology Alliance
