The Metro Foundation's INSIDER Dinner

The INSIDER Dinner (IN Support of Infectious Disease Education and outReach) is The Metro Foundation’s premier annual event to generate support and visibility for its infectious disease-related education and outreach initiatives. The black-tie (preferred) event – consisting of a reception and dinner – brings together and galvanizes the collective resources of the national infectious disease community, including physicians and other medical professionals, vendors and other industry stakeholders. At the dinner, the foundation presents the INSIDER Award to a member of the community in recognition of his or her lifetime contributions and commitment to the field of infectious disease.

The Third Annual INSIDER Dinner will be held Friday, November 5, 2010 at the Chicago Cultural Center.
