Unwind and relax in the heartland of America while you learn from the foremost experts. Our program this year will feature workshops, general sessions, and parallel sessions. On Thursday morning we start with cadaver and non-cadaver workshops. Thursday evening is Industry Supported Symposia, "Meet the Reps", the reception for Dr. Menno E. Sluijter, and "Meet the Authors". "Meet the Authors" is the time to become acquainted with the presenters who have written some of the best sellers you enjoy and look at the books they have authored and co-authored. Take the time to chat and have them sign a copy of their books for you.

In its seventh year, the Symposium is directed to the practitioner and the interventional pain management specialist. As we treat patients with pain issues whether it is the result of conditions, diseases, or injuries sustained in global conflicts, most practitioners must have a working knowledge about the complex issues surrounding pain in order to best understand the options available for pain management. Join us as we explore the possibilities to provide optimal care for our patients.

This year's activities that allow you and that special person coming with you to unwind feature "Our Pre-Symposium Kick-Off Stress Reducer", the Pheasant Hunt on Wednesday, September 24th, arranged by Big Shot Pheasant Fields, and an all day excursion to the Black Hills on Thursday, September 25th. There will also be golf lessons, personal training sessions, dance classes, wine and vinegar tasting, the "Stroking Out the Pain" golf tournament, casino fun for charity, and dancing.

Relax, you're on the prairie. Welcome.
