ICPHSO 2025 Annual Symposium Annual Meeting and Training Symposium

Buddy Pilot Program

February 17-20, 2025

Orlando, Florida

ICPHSO recognizes that our Annual Meeting and Training Symposium can be somewhat daunting to new attendees/first-timers. To assist new attendees/first-timers we are implementing a pilot "Buddy Program" during the 2025 Annual Symposium.

Program Details

• Who: New attendees/first-timers will be paired up with a more seasoned attendee/member (Buddy).
  
• How: Each Buddy will have 3 or 4 new attendees/first-timers assigned to them.
  • Initial meet up with Buddy discussing what to expect over the course of the Symposium.
  • Help guide the new attendees/first-timers during the Symposium and are encouraged to attend one session together.
  • At the conclusion of the Symposium, a short de-brief with each new attendee/first-timer to obtain overall thoughts takeaways and suggestions for future programs.
• ICPHSO Follow up with all participants after the Symposium for more detailed feedback.

Logistics

• New attendees/first-timers can indicate interest in participating in the pilot program during registration.
• More seasoned attendees/members can indicate interest in being a Buddy during registration.
• ICPHSO will group new members/first-timers with a Buddy.

Note: This is not a mentor program. The assistance provided by the Buddy is limited to support and guidance with initial symposium orientation and support during the week of Annual Symposium.

Registration Open (Deadline February 7, 2025)
