ACDIS update: Nominate a peer for an award, submit a poster for the 2026 conference!
For the next month, you can still get involved in two of the most exciting parts of the annual ACDIS conference (taking place April 20-23, 2026 in Chicago)! The ACDIS Achievement Awards and ACDIS poster presentations are both open for submissions until Friday, December 12, 2025, and we’d love to see your application or nomination.
What is an ACDIS poster, you may ask? These posters provide every CDI professional an opportunity to show the CDI community what you, your team, and your organization have accomplished at the conference and inspire other conference attendees in the process. Posters detail an innovative project, newly established protocol, or successful educational outreach at your organization, and poster creators can offer insight and answer questions from passers-by during a designated break at the conference.
If your group’s poster is selected, one member will receive $200 off conference admission, and all members will receive four ACDIS CEUs. You can learn more about the requirements for poster presentations here. To submit your poster idea for consideration, click here!
Next, the ACDIS Achievement Awards are bestowed upon exceptional CDI professionals as nominated by their peers and are presented to recipients in a special ceremony each year at the conference. If you know a CDI professional whose achievements should be recognized, consider nominating them for an award using this form. Click on the links below to learn more about the qualifications for each of these prestigious awards:
- CDI Professional of the Year
- Accomplishment in CDI
- Melissa Varnavas Spirit of Service
- Diversity in CDI
All nominations for Achievement Awards and poster proposals will be reviewed and selected by the ACDIS Events Committee in conjunction with ACDIS leadership.
Note: All poster applications and awards nominations must be submitted by the end of the year to be considered. We cannot accept any submissions after December 12, 2025.
