Meetings and Events
APIC Great Lakes serves members statewide, which is reflected in our changing meeting locations and venues. APIC-GL typically hosts one educational event, multiple monthly webinars and a winter social gathering throughout the year. Please visit this website often for the most up to date information about our upcoming meetings.
Our 2025 educational webinar calendar is below!
After each monthly webinar, we will host a 30-minute peer mentorship roundtable. You can ask your IP peers anything you need to know about infection prevention! To submit your question anonymously, use our Google form!
