4 THE G-I-N 2018 SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF LEADERS OF THE GUIDELINE WORLD AND INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. Feedback from last year s conference has been extremely positive: SPONSOR Hosting G-I-N 2016 was a unique opportunity to welcome to our campus a diverse and distinguished group of global leaders in guideline development and implementation. Through our platinum sponsorship of the opening reception, we showcased one of the University s most renowned destinations, the Penn Museum, while kicking off the conference in style. Throughout the conference, participants shared their admiration for the history and beauty of the museum and the Penn campus, and described how much they enjoyed the reception. We felt honoured to start the meeting on such a high note. G-I-N MEMBER The G-I-N conference provides a great way to connect with lots of guideline developers in a place that makes networking easy. Having been to many professional conferences, I think this is one of the best opportunities to meet people who are so influential in producing guidelines for clinical practice. Brian S. Alper, MD, MSPH, FAAFP Founder of DynaMed Vice President of Innovations and Evidence-Based Medicine Development, EBSCO Health FIRST TIME EXHIBITOR A number of our customers suggested G-I-N 2016 as a great opportunity to connect with more members of the guideline community. They were right - we got to meet many current DistillerSR users in person, learn more about their needs, and make valuable new contacts.
