Selecting Venues for AMIA Events and Conferences: Guiding Ethical Principle

Paul DeMuro was one of the authors of the article “Selecting venues for AMIA events and conferences: guiding ethical principle” for JAMIA—the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. One of the topics the article examines is how the needs of members and the financial viability of a conference venue are important considerations for any academic society. However, when deciding where to hold conferences, professional organizations ought also to be guided by a set of overarching principles that communicate institutional values, and professional scientific organizations must identify principles and values important to and supported by their members.
