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.
