About this Event
APIC Indiana State Educational Conference
The APIC IN conference serves as an educational resource for professionals involved in the control and prevention of infections. A variety of topics relevant to the arena of infection prevention and control will be presented in May 2025, including those related to basic and advanced microbiology, construction and renovation, water management and waterborne pathogens, and cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. There is a keynote session on reading and using body language in healthcare! IPUs are available for this 2-day conference.
Hotel Options
With low use of hotel blocks in the past, APIC Indiana does not contract a block of rooms at a single hotel. Attendees are asked to reserve a room at the location of their choice and at their own convenience. Below is a list of hotels that are closest to IKORCC:
- Holiday Inn Express and Suites Greenwood
- Hilton Garden Inn Indianapolis South
- Home2Suites
Educational Support Fundraiser
Bring cash, check, or credit/debit card to purchase tickets for the Educational Support Fundraiser so that we can provide support for our members to attend the National APIC conference in 2026. The 2026 National APIC conference will be in Nashville, TN.
What are ways you can help?
- Bring new and/or new handmade items to donate as gifts for the educational support fundraiser.
- Donate to your local APIC Indiana region's basket. Contact your regional director(s) for more information.
- Buy tickets! Every dollar paid goes towards assistance for members to attend the National APIC conference. After returning, awardees are required to educate the APIC IN membership at the state fall conference with the knowledge they obtained at the national conference that year.
- Corporate partners, vendors, and/or sponsors can donate and purchase tickets, too!
Special Considerations
Please wear your facility ID badge during attendance at the conference.
