Editor's announcements:
We have now received the HDCN registration list from the ASN Renal Week 2008 Meeting. All remaining current users of HDCN were upgraded or extended today. If we could not find a registration to upgrade, you were sent an email. If you have not received such an email, please contact us at editor ($a$(t($ hdcn.net.

This marks the last of the Renal Week 2007 sessions. We will now begin posting a series of ASN Board Review talks, and then in January we will begin posting Renal Week 2008 sessions. The next update we also will begin posting Renal Week 2008 abstract selections. We are very pleased to post (free of charge) a recent symposium hosted by The Renal Network, Inc. (9/10) and the RPA focusing on the new medical director responsibilities in view of the recently issued Conditions for Coverage. For our United States colleagues this is very important and timely information. We also have begun posting audiofiles from the 2008 Annual Dialysis Conference, which will continue through the end of the year. Follow the links for registration to the 2009 ADC, which will be held March 29th in Houston, TX.
