Continued partners with American Cochlear Implant Alliance to deliver CI2020 Online Conference 

Timely clinical topics, research available on Continued’s AudiologyOnline and SpeechPathology.com

Continued’s AudiologyOnline and SpeechPathology.com have partnered with American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance to deliver an entirely online conference with CEUs available. 

ACI Alliance international conference, CI2020, was originally slated for March 18-21 in Orlando, Florida, but was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. 

This online learning opportunity will be available in May for all who would have attended CI2020 International as well as anyone interested in cochlear implant clinical research. 

“In order to continue the energy and share the timely clinical research that our international cochlear implant community had planned to share in Orlando at CI2020 International, we are delighted to organize this online conference with AudiologyOnline and SpeechPathology.com,” said Donna Sorkin, executive director of ACI Alliance. “Their technology savvy, commitment to the field, and extraordinary organization were just what was needed to make this online offering a reality. ACI Alliance members are grateful to them for supporting our cochlear implant community.”  

The online conference will feature more than 40 global experts in cochlear implant presenting selected content from the conference that would have been presented in Orlando. Presenters will record their podium talks in a video course format. The full list of topics and presenters is available here

The conference can be accessed beginning May 4 through AudiologyOnline or SpeechPathology.com, with CEUs available through an annual membership. The conference is free to those not seeking CEUs. Click here for more information on access to the conference and CEU availability.
