Switch Up Your Schedule Strategically
Many of the tips we provide discuss taking time to plan and to choose your meetings with serious consideration (vs. copying/pasting what you did the year before). Well, I challenge you to do it again! There was a tip I provided all the way back in September of 2019 that [...]
Monthly Quick Poll – Feedback from Young Physicians
This year, one of the most common threads in our conversations with both exhibitors and meeting planners is that they don't know how to reach young physicians. Well, we wanted to do our best to help with a young physician survey that we posted on our website the entire year. [...]

Remember of All You’ve Accomplished
Earlier this week, a friend I used to work with at a marketing firm (before my podiatry days) reached out and asked me what I have been up to for the last decade. (Note: I'm not the best at long-distance friendships). I'm sure many of you have been in the [...]

MEETING TESTIMONIALS
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.
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.
very beneficial and relatable to everyday practice and patient visits. A very handy workbook was also dispensed
Excellent program
Everyone interested in Minimal invasive foot surgery needs to attend
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 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.
