Dear members of the Auditory List, Please consider submitting an abstract and attending the CIAP meeting this summer. Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses (CIAP), ciaphome.org July 16-21, 2017 in Lake Tahoe, CA at the Granlibakken Resort. Abstract submission site is open and abstracts are due by April 15.
Registration, Housing, Meals: For CIAP 2017 the registration fee is $0. Fill out the registration and book a room at the Granlibakken website as described below. Granlibakken is an all-inclusive resort so all registrants’ lodging and meals are part of the meeting structure. Off campus residents who chose not to eat at the conference center will still be charged an off-campus fee for facilities use and for conference support costs (coffee, projector AV, etc). We encourage all attendees to eat meals at Granlibakken to maximize the social opportunities and networking that occur at mealtimes. Once the on-campus rooms are filled Granlibakken has arranged for overflow rooms at nearby hotels. Shuttle busses will take attendees back and forth from the conference facility to the local hotels. Book early to ensure a room on-campus. To register for CIAP2017 and reserve a room follow these steps 1. Go to
www.Granlibakken.com 2. Click on
event/group reservations 3. For group ID

Dance Party Wednesday night!: Join the fun and perform at the CIAP party in 2017 showing off your musical abilities (or lack thereof?). John Galvin is putting together a list of “musicians” and will work over the spring to get the show together. Contact John at jgalvin@xxxxxxxx, and let him know what instrument(s) you play.
