Capturing Stories from the Field: Reflections, Challenges, & Best Practices
 It's no exaggeration to say that our annual conference is our team's favorite time of the year. The chance to connect with everyone who makes our community so uniquely vibrant creates a consistently infectious renewal of enthusiasm every year, without fail. "NaRCAD 2024: Envisioning Our Future: Growth and Innovation in AD” will be no different, and we hope you'll be with us as we celebrate! This year's event takes creative AD approaches to the next level. AD programs from across the globe will share their important work on myriad topics, from opioid use disorder to gender-affirming care; from preventing detailer panic to encouraging clinician use of person-first language in support of patients who deal with highly-stigmatized conditions. You can take a peek at our agenda here and see what we've got planned for you!  Presenters will lead you through key strategies for AD success such as smart data tracking, EMR alignment, and increasing your program's visibility through better marketing. And of course, AD originator and NaRCAD Co-founder Dr. Jerry Avorn will deliver his Annual AD Talk, bringing you his reliable brand of insights from the year in healthcare and his visions for the future of AD. We'll also be exploring key adaptations to the model itself. Successful programs will share their innovations in delivering detailing sessions to alternative target audiences, branching out beyond frontline clinicians to community-based organizations who also play a key role in supporting patient safety. Want to move around during your breakout? You'll get a chance to try medical improv with seasoned detailers who are also experts in the world of theatre! And our Global Perspectives session will feature successes and diverse approaches to AD from our colleagues in Japan, Norway, and Canada.  We're so eager to spend two days with you. Whether you're with us in Boston this year, or joining us virtually, we're here to listen to your ideas, think about ways to put them into action, share your successes and challenges, and connect you with the brightest and most creative folks in our field.
And we'll be leading the charge in keeping the energy of excitement alive as we all prepare for the year ahead--2025 will be packed with opportunities to learn new approaches to clinical outreach education, train your team in the nuances of persuasive communication, and build new relationships with clinicians who need your expertise to provide the best evidence-based care to the patients who trust them. See you in six weeks! Bevin K. Amira Deputy Director, NaRCAD *Be the first 15 blog commenters below and win a free registration to the in-person event!*

My first conference and I’m super excited to connect with other detailers and LEARN from the best! Such a fun, diverse agenda this year! Excited to be representing Canada in the Global Perspective session, alongside colleagues from much farther away! Always looking for ways to increase our program's visibility so the session on "better marketing" is calling my name.
