Making Changes YOU Choose
This month, Ann's tip for meeting planners got my brain in gear about the same topic. She stated, one of the phrases she and I love to hate is, "we've always done it that way." If you want to see my unfiltered eye roll, that's one of the phrases you [...]

Working ON your Practice vs IN Your Practice
I'm sure the phrase, "you need to work ON your business vs. IN your business" is not unfamiliar. Like most business owners, finding time to stop yourself from being your company's best employee can be difficult; or it may just be a matter of changing habits along with time [...]
Tricks of the Trade for Vendors
Patience is a Virtue
One of the things that I know we're all guilty of is jumping the gun on evaluating the effectiveness of a particular meeting. Most of the time, we base the effectiveness on the amount of on-site sales we achieved. That is a very fair and very important metric; but this [...]

Exhibiting Post-Covid
Some of us have done a few in-person shows throughout the year, but it's safe to say that we haven't done as many... and many have done ZERO. The upcoming APMA National Conference is going to be the first time many of us have stepped foot on an exhibit hall [...]

Creating Fun and Inspired Environments
Over the last several days, Ann and I have had multiple conversations with exhibitors to gain insight which will could help meeting planners better understand how they can improve the exhibitor experience at their events. During that conversation, one of several interesting comments was made... to better communicate it, I [...]
“We’ve Always Done it This Way” is No Longer an Answer
One of our favorite phrases to hate is, "We've always done it this way." Sarah and I believe in change, in moving forward, in "rolling with the punches." While preparing the content for this month's newsletter, I read an article that shares these sentiments and warns about being hesitant to [...]
Choosing Your Meeting Venue/City
Over the years we've been to all sorts of cities and hotels for meetings; i.e. large cities like Vegas, Chicago, NYC, Washington D.C. There have also been smaller cities that don't pack as much of a tourist punch. There are a lot of items to consider when putting on a [...]
MEETING TESTIMONIALS
The SAM conference is one of my personal favorites. This year definitely seemed a bit slower as far as traffic in the exhibit hall but registration numbers were good. I did feel that organization and communication were a bit lacking this year. Also, typically we can register for the next year’s conference on site at the current conference and I don’t think that was an option this year. It helps to pre-register when it comes to these larger conferences. The Disney Coronado Springs was a beautiful venue. A lot of walking from the room to the conference center but the weather was delightful so it wasn’t a problem. Also, as an exhibitor there are a lot of costs involved at any conference, it would have been a nice gesture if the conference coordinator would’ve taken time to come to each booth and say thank you.
Excellent meeting with variety of lectures given by knowledgeable and charismatic clinicians.
Interesting and different content. All relevant to practicing Podiatric surgeons
Amount of credit commensurate with hours of lectures and price.
Chicago is never the cheapest but it is easy to get to from anywhere and the accommodations and organization was more than adequate.
Excellent meeting would attend again.
Excellent program
Everyone interested in Minimal invasive foot surgery needs to attend
This meeting, like wound care conferences is extremely well organized. For all three days the attendees are in the exhibit hall, the vendors are slammed with visitors. Great conversations with attendees, who seem genuinely interested in the products offered. The exhibit hall is open for three hours each day, which makes for a good day not only for vendors but attendees as well. We always come back from this meeting feeling very positive and that our goals met.
Highly organized, on time , excellent mix of content.
New Port is an excellent venue, easily accessible from the north and South. Had nice mix of doctors from New York and New England.
Engaging exhibitors , excellent opportunity to see new technology and order office supplies from old favorites.
very beneficial and relatable to everyday practice and patient visits. A very handy workbook was also dispensed
The exhibit hall had some traffic the entire time; never a moment of complete silence like many shows. Hours for exhibit hall was the perfect amount – two full days is all you need. Shipping exhibit materials was easy and convenient.
I thought it was very well organized. I learned quite a bit and will incorporate into my practice.
I would’ve liked the potential to be more than 25 hours and I would’ve liked more surgical topics.
I would’ve liked more companies for more surgical products
All in all I thought the quality of the seminar in the talks were excellent. Well organized with experience speakers
The hands on workshops bring the program to a higher level. You don’t just hear the lectures but you practice on the products.
We were unsure how the schedule change would be received but it seem fine. Wednesdays scheduled exhibit hall closure in the afternoon was pointless. We stayed at our booth because our booth traffic did not stop. There was grumbling about the reception Wednesday evening and the cost of the drinks.
