"Wide
Open Spaces" is the theme for the 2001 Annual Meeting
for Biocommunications which is being held jointly by three
of the most prominent associations in the field of
Biocommunications:
Association
of Biomedical Communications Directors (ABCD),
BioCommunications
Association (BCA)
and
the Health Sciences
Communications Association (HeSCA).
Please
explore our meeting website for more information about the
exciting educational, social, and creative opportunities
available at this year's meeting.

The
Meeting Theme
During the first month of planning for the meeting, a theme was chosen for the logo that both
represented the Dallas area and the meeting program content. Folks in Promotions have plans to use
some music from the DIXIE CHICKS (who got their start in Dallas) at the meeting. What's their biggest
hit? WIDE OPEN SPACES (see a connection)!
WIDE OPEN SPACES fit like a glove. Dallas is a city steeped in Texas tradition and history but always
with WIDE OPEN SPACES from its high-tech companies, corporate headquarters and wholesale trade
markets to being one of the largest urban arts districts in the nation, and one of its largest, richest
shopping meccas. Changes to technology can come faster then a speeding bullet and Dallas leads the
world in many areas of technology.
The field of Biocommunications also has WIDE OPEN SPACES for those who choose it as a career. It is
a field rich with history that embraces new technologies to improve our creative skills and ways of
communication in medical education and the health care industry. Those who attend the WIDE OPEN
SPACES meeting will return home with plenty of information on the latest
software and technologies.
