Why did you make VITAL2021 a virtual event?

The likelihood COVID-19 will remain a public health threat well into the summer, as well as the time and travel constraints our attendees face as front-line providers, led to our decision to keep VITAL virtual a second year. A virtual event offers the best opportunity to meet our commitment to member education.

What are the dates and locations of future annual conferences?
VITAL2022 will be at the Westin Boston Waterfront, June 22 – 24, 2022.
