Did you meet Tori Whitacre Martonicz, senior editor for Infection Control Today, at the APIC, AORN, HSPA, or Ohio State APIC conferences in 2024? Check out these pictures and see if you're here.
This year, ICT had the privilege of attending and capturing pivotal moments at four major conferences: the AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo, HSPA Annual Conference and Expo, APIC Annual Conference and Expo, and the APIC Northeast Ohio Chapter 017 2024 State of Ohio APIC Conference.
At each of these events, ICT documented not just the sights but the spirit of collaboration and innovation that drives our field forward. Through our lenses, we captured leaders delivering groundbreaking research, infection preventionists engaging in hands-on workshops, and exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technologies. These images tell the story of a community dedicated to improving patient safety and public health.
Attending these conferences allows ICT to go beyond photography—we connect with thought leaders, attend impactful sessions, and dive deep into emerging trends. We aim to distill this wealth of knowledge into the articles and resources we share with you. From APIC’s focus on new infection prevention strategies to HSPA’s advancements in sterile processing, we bring insights that matter to your practice.
The power of visuals cannot be underestimated. Photographs serve as a timeless reminder of the milestones and progress achieved by our community. By capturing these moments, ICT ensures the stories and achievements of infection prevention professionals reach a broader audience, inspiring further innovation and collaboration.
Thank you for trusting ICT as your source for the latest in infection prevention and control. Through our presence at these key events, we remain committed to equipping you with the tools, information, and inspiration to lead in the fight against health care-associated infections.
