The Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA) has announced it is launching a new annual conference for leaders in radiology, RBMA PARADIGM. The conference will replace the two annual meetings currently held by RBMA: The Radiology Summit and the Fall Educational Conference.

“RBMA is making a bold leap by changing and realigning the existing educational structure while maintaining, or exceeding, the quality that members expect from us,” Suzanne Taylor, president of the RBMA Board of Directors, said in a prepared statement. “The time is now to create one meeting with a traditional exhibit hall.”

“We are so excited about these changes that will bring the very best of the RBMA annual conferences together in one extraordinary event,” Michael R. Mabry, RBMA executive director, said in the same statement. “We hope to see everyone next year in Chicago.”

The first RBMA PARADIGM is scheduled for April 23-26, 2017, in Chicago.
