2022 Pinehurst Conference Call for Presentation - i2i Center for Integrative Health

Deadline for Submissions is August 5, 2022.

SUBMISSION FORM

i2i is planning a live in person event for our December Conference, the 7-9th, 2022 at the Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC. We will continue to utilize the Whova platform to expand learning, networking, and information sharing.

The i2i Conference in Pinehurst is our largest attended event, drawing up to 1000 participants. Conference presenters will have an exceptional opportunity for exposure to over 1000 leaders and professionals representing private and public MH/IDD/SUD and primary healthcare payers and providers, human service leaders, hospital system leaders, State agency staff and leaders, advocates, consumer and family members and other stakeholders.

Presentations

While we are planning an in person only event, upon request, i2i may ask you to also pre-record your session to increase access to content. Presenting in person and virtually expands your session’s reach and audience. In addition, some submissions may be chosen ONLY for a virtual presentation.
