The 31st Annual Dialysis Conference came to the desert Southwest between Feb. 20 and Feb. 22. The conference took place at the brand-new Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix, which resembled something of a ghost town because of President’s Day weekend and the rare desert rain that tends to keep the locals locked indoors. Nevertheless, attendees still poured into the conference, which is sponsored by the University School of Medicine, the MU School of Nursing, and the University of Missouri Extension. Word on the street is next years conference will be in San Antonio. Until then, here are some images of some of the exhibits at the conference.
