I personally am hopeful (although mind you I have been hopeful now for many years)that we may finally be seeing some of the nuisance things fixed and the needed greatly things added, once the Meaningful Use and PM modules are complete. Jon's team should then have more time to devote to the "smaller stuff". Can you influence them at the conference? I have no idea. But, plans I believe are to banter around ideas face to face and discuss the levels of priority and how they may be remedied. If not easily remedied, to learn why not.
The full outline for the program will be soon forthcoming and the objectives will be detailed. I can only speak for myself that the two ACUC conferences I have gone to have been very enjoyable as well as informative.
