Mark the date for the CareVoyant 16th User Conference
We have scheduled the CareVoyant 16th User Conference for three days starting September 21, 2021, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Schaumburg, IL.
After more than a year of challenges and uncertainties due to COVID-19, things are slowly getting back to normal – thanks to the successful development, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines. The plan is to have our 16th User Conference in person with the hope that the progress will continue throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you all in Schaumburg this year.
