The G-I-N 2013 theme is, "Integrating Evidence into Practice - Strategies for the Future". The conference will be a unique venue for learning from worldwide attendees who will share their knowledge and experiences regarding guideline development, dissemination, adaptation and, especially, implementation.  The opportunities to learn and grow will extend to ongoing collaborative relationships with new and old colleagues across disciplines from all over the world who share our daily challenges. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity in 2013 to develop and strengthen lasting professional relationships with people from a variety of countries and organizations.
