Upcoming Conference Info
What is GPIN Lite?
"GPIN Lite" is a smaller, shortened, in-person version of our annual conference hosted by our member organization, MultiCare. We designed this conference in response to the requests to get back to our 2x-per-year cadence and the high cost of hosting at a hotel.
How is GPIN Lite Different?
This conference will differ slightly from our annual conference.
- 1.5 days with an optional Tuesday morning site visit to local member organization(s).
- Hosted at our member organization, MultiCare – we are extremely grateful to MultiCare for this opportunity!
- Limited to 100 attendees, which means limited numbers of seats, a potential waitlist, and different cancellation policies (see below) to ensure we fill every seat for meaningful conversation. This is a first-come, first-served process.
- There will be a maximum of 7 spots per organization to ensure a diversity of responses during the conference. Those who sign up beyond the 7 spots per organization, or 100 total spots, will be added to our waitlist. The waitlist will be opened as soon as any cancellations or spots become available.
- Includes classic GPIN sessions such as Hot Topics, G-Force and a Plenary Speaker, while also testing out new ideas based on your feedback (e.g. G-Force Q&A, a panel discussion, Hop Topics offered at a different time of the day).
Transportation will not be provided by GPIN for this Lite conference. Please rent a car, carpool with other attendees, or use Lyft/Uber.
