SATURDAY, JUNE 11

Opening Plenary8–10:30 a.m.Business and Management Lessons from Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomicsStephen DubnerHow can you really change behaviors in your facility? In this engaging presentation, award-winning author, journalist, radio and TV personality Stephen Dubner explains why the old rules of business just don’t apply. It’s a new world, and that demands a new way of thinking and a new way of getting beneath the surface. Using humor, first-rate storytelling, and real world examples from the healthcare field, he discusses ways to create behavior change, the incentives that work and don’t work, and the value of asking unpopular questions..

SUNDAY, JUNE 12

CHARLOTTE’S GOT A LOT.Think you know Charlotte? Think again. Named for Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who had become queen consort of Great Britain the year before the city’s founding, modern day Charlotte is undergoing a royal renaissance. The

city is booming with world-class museums, diverse restaurants, Broadway theater, major league sports teams, and beautiful green spaces throughout

the walkable and charming downtown.

You’ll find live music and fun entertainment of all kinds at the new Epicentre, just a few blocks from the convention center, and other spots like the Rock Bottom Brewery. There’s also nearby Carowinds amusement and water park and, of course, the chance to throw all caution to the wind for

a thrilling NASCAR ride.

Check it all out at charlottesgotalot.com.
