Dear Conference Participant,

Planning for the 2008 Johns Hopkins University International ACG Conference is near completion.

Our conference remains the best source of information on predictive modeling, risk adjustment and population case mix methods in the world.  We have some exciting changes to announce, including a new location and conference format.

This year we are trying something new – instead of holding our conference in the Baltimore/Annapolis, Maryland region every 18 months, it is our plan to vary locations across the United States and meet annually every Spring.

We will also be piggy-backing the Johns Hopkins sponsored ACG conference with the user group conference of our US distributor partner, DST Health Solutions.  This year the ACG conference along with DST Health Solutions user group (known as HUG) will be meeting at the famous Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA from Sunday, May 4th through Wednesday, May 7th. Click here to visit the HUG website.

Las Vegas here we come!

There will be great synergies by joining forces with DST Health Solutions users group.

There will be many new and exciting ACG developments, new scientific and applied product results to share with you – both in the United States and from the many new countries now using ACGs.

So mark your calendars now for May 4-7, 2008

We will be updating the website with new information frequently, so check back often to learn more about this conference.

We hope to see you in Vegas in May!

Regards,
Jonathan Weiner, PhD
Professor of Health Policy Management, Medicine and Informatics
