Hot Spots 2024 Invitation


Hot Spots Ohana 2024
Friday, November 16 – Saturday, 17, 2024
Turtle Bay Resort
Kahuku, Oahu, Hawaii


  
Please save the dates for our 2024 Hot Spots program.  This annual conference was begun in 1987, has been evolving ever since and presently it has become an ohana.
 

We will have talks that stretch the attendees minds rather than the predictable academic or promotional lectures given by paid professional circuit riders that one can hear elsewhere.

We will continue to have the case presentation part of the program that has been memorable and successful in the past. We also will encourage younger people, students and trainees, to present material.

So, save the dates for a outstanding and congenial program.

Aloha,

Dave Elpern
Doug Johnson
George Reizner
