New Policy for National Forum Presentation Materials

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement is making a concerted effort to reduce our environmental impact at this year’s National Forum. 

One area we are focusing on is the reduction of paper waste.  Here are the details:

• All presentations made available to IHI by faculty before the conference will be available on the "Meeting Materials" tab of these web pages. Attendees can download handouts before the conference or on-site during the Forum using the high-speed wireless access available in all meeting space at the conference hotel. We encourage attendees to bring their laptops to their sessions to make notes and view presentations more closely. Meeting rooms will be set with work tables whenever possible. 
• Attendees will be given a jump drive, preloaded with all meeting materials, at registration. Paper handouts will not be provided for any session. If you would like a paper handout, a printing kiosk will be available on-site.

Our Green Booth will make a repeat appearance in 2008. We encourage you to stop by to give us your feedback, get more information about IHI’s efforts, and learn how you can reduce your impact on the environment when you return home.
