Local and national planning committees have begun gathering conference ideas for review. We have arranged for a great hotel deal with the Sheraton Society Hill. Our attendees will receive a discounted room rate of $149. The program will include dozens of panels, field trips, newsmaker briefings, Freelance Pitchfest, world-class speakers, 2010 Awards for Excellence in Health Care Journalism luncheon and a number of other special events. Expect sessions on covering health care, health research, public health, health policy, consumer health and the business of health.

To suggest sessions or speakers for the conference, please fill out our conference suggestion form. More details will be available in the weeks ahead, but set these days aside now for the best annual training event in health journalism.
