One of the significant changes to the CAR 2024 program is the addition of longer and more frequent breaks throughout the event, allowing everyone to connect with speakers and catch up with colleagues. Attendees will also have the chance to find out more about other organizations within the CAR umbrella, like the five Affiliate Societies. With plenty of time each day, there are lots of opportunities to network, socialize, and celebrate excellence in radiology.
Our members told us that they wanted more time to network. In the length of a radiologist’s career that makes us think of the quote from American Psychologist, Adam Grant who said, “Being a giver is not good for a 100-yard dash, but it’s valuable in a marathon.”
