Tricks of the Trade for Meeting Planners
Adapt and Evolve
Reflecting on the last three years, I feel that 2023 was as close to "the good 'ole days" (pre-Covid) as we've had in comparison to 2020, 2021 and 2022; meaning in-person meetings were not bombarded with heavy restrictions and the process/flow felt "normal" again. However, it's also safe to say [...]

MEETING TESTIMONIALS
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
very beneficial and relatable to everyday practice and patient visits. A very handy workbook was also dispensed
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.
The hands on workshops bring the program to a higher level. You don’t just hear the lectures but you practice on the products.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent program
Everyone interested in Minimal invasive foot surgery needs to attend
