Chicago CDI Boot Camp sold out

That’s the good news and the bad news, I’m afraid.

On the good news side of the scale we place the fact that 32 people—that’s right, 32 people—registered for the four-day CDI Boot Camp being held at the Marriott Courtyard in Chicago/Schaumburg September 28 through October 1. The number of registrants speaks to the intensity of the educational needs of the profession as well as to the dedication of CDI professionals.

Of course, on the bad news side of the scale we place the fact that the Chicago program is, in fact, sold out. So anyone in the area who had hoped to register but was perhaps waiting for last minute approval from their director or other supervisor missed out, I’m afraid. We hope that if you’re in Chicago and did get shut out of the Boot Camp, you’ll be able to take some solace in the fact that the 2010 ACDIS conference will be held in the Windy City June 3rd and 4th, with the pre-conference coding essentials program and post-conference CCDS exam.

Just one more item to tip the scale to the positive. (I like to leave things primarily on a positive note, if possible.) Just because the Chicago program is closed doesn’t mean there won’t be other learning opportunities. The Atlanta, GA, program taking place at Hyatt Place October 12-15, still has multiple open slots. Just a note on that, the early bird hotel room rate ends on September 18, so if you are interested you might want to mention that to the powers that be.  And the Boot Camp taking place at the Hilton Phoenix Metro Center in November from the 2nd to the 5th also has multiple slots open.

We are in the planning stages for the 2010 Boot Camp schedules now so if you want a session to come to your neighborhood, give us a shout. We hope everyone who attends the Chicago intensive has a great time and learns a lot.
