Tricks of the Trade for DPMs
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 [...]

Summer Lovin’ Had Me a Blast… Developing my Digital Marketing Strategy!
Sarah Breymeier If you've taken a recent gander at our website's Calendar of Events - or even your own meeting schedule - you're probably not as bogged down with travel in the summer than the Spring and Fall. I don't know about your time management habits, but if you're anything [...]
Are You Wasting Your Marketing Budget?
Sarah and I believe that marketing dollars are never wasted. The difference is, sometimes you pay for impact and sales, other times you pay for lessons. I'm giving Sarah the credit for that genius line, it sounds like something she would say. Marketing is more art than science. Sometimes, a "throw it [...]

Tricks of the Trade for Meeting Planners
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 [...]

Acknowledge All Feedback But Embrace the Positive.
We are all guilty of it - dwelling on the negative things people have to say about us (personally or professionally) versus thriving from the positive. We are professionals. We care about performance, so an unsatisfied customer bothers us. Trust me - I get it. Here's the thing... I've also [...]

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