NEWS AND EVENTS
2008 NHSN International Conference will be held Oct. 1 - 3 at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda in Washington, D.C.

This year's conference title is "Community, Behavioral and Molecular Sciences in Addictive Disorders", and will address vital origins and consequences of Latino drug use. To register for the conference, please visit this link Conference Registration. The deadline to reserve a hotel room at the NHSN conference rate has been extended to Friday, September 5. 

Please note that the Federal government has adjusted their per diem for many cities and the Washington, DC metro area is affected. Beginning in October of this year the new Federal per diem for lodging will be $233.00 per night (with 13% tax = $263.29). This means that the rooms on Monday and Tuesday (September 29 & 30) will not be affected and the rate is $201 (with 13% tax =$227.00). However, beginning on Wednesday the 1st, the remaining rooms will now be confirmed at the $233.00 Federal Government Per Diem rate.
