EXHIBITOR COMMENTS

Overall Satisfaction Comments

The food for the vendors lunch was pathetic, and a disgrace to the vendors. A stick in the face is what I call it. Its’ like getting a “vendor – photographer” at a wedding, which by the way is appropriate. But for this where the vendor is paying for the food, space etc its just unfair and in my opinion unacceptable. We just did a CME program and the vendors were placed at the top of the food chain, just like I mentioned above, and both days guests were able to speak to the vendors as they needed to get their morning coffee by passing all the vendor tables. Back to the food, pizza is a joke, I spoke to the catering mgr and the Food and Beverage director and they both stated there was plenty of food left over to offer to the vendors, on top of that I saw myself that there was plenty of food. I’m happy to explain the F/B side of the business as I used to work for Marriott for 15 years and was on the other side of things and can explain how the guarantee number thing works. call me anytime. Remember you need vendors to support this event, please act like it. If you can run the event with no vendor money, i would do it and then you don’t have to work hard to hide us. not a good thing. I think you pissed off many vendors but many will NOT speak their minds on this for fear of not letting them in next year. They deal with this all the time and just deal with it.

I have had the privilege of being around when Dermfoot begin. I watched Dr. Joyce’s hard work and fortitude turn this landmark dermatology meeting into the successful conference it is known for today. In the past 3 years, Exhibitor Opportunities increased from only 10 available booths at Dermfoot to over 50 which sell out each year. The quality of the dermfoot speakers is what exhibitors must look for when choosing a meeting. Dermfoot provided my laser company Zuckerman Future Technology with the platform to successfully launch the Remy Laser. It is extremely important and smart to choose a meeting that is high quality and attracts the right doctors to your booth Dermfoot meets my criteria for attending as an exhibitor. First the quality of the speakers as well as topics and the organizers are extremely important. Understanding meeting locations and most important attracting the podiatrists who are leading our profession is paramount. You need exposure but quality is more important I still can’t believe how young Dermfoot is as an organization and just how fast it has made its mark. I highly recommend Dermfoot and the organization especially Dr Anette Joyce, Meeting Chair.

PHYSICIAN/ATTENDEE COMMENTS

I look forward to attending meetings in this manner.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I only want to do virtual from now on for dermfoot. Everything went great. No complaints.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great Conference, Great speakers, very informative.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

this was my 4th year, I love the conference, I can’t wait for next year!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Too expensive for what we received.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Keep up the great work and lectures

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I always go to Derm Foot conferences, close to the office, good value.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Love DermFoot and I wish I could go every year!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Would like to see location alternate east/west coast if ever stop virtual option

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Can we please also incorporate the option to attend virtually in the future as well? I find it is helpful to attend it anytime, attract global participants and able to catch up without stress. That is flexible and it helps to reduce additional cost!!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great value. Will plan to attend next year.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

One of the best conferences I have attended. I highly recommend it.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The best conference by far

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Found this Dermfoot much improved from last I attended in Los Angeles a few years ago

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Content of lectures helpful, but from one year to the next, not groundbreaking information. Could see attending this every 2-3 years.

there are ways to have better traffic, I”m happy to show the hotel a better diagram and Dr. Joyce knows this. Food should be placed in the back of the vendor room so they attendees must pass the tables to get their food. Remember the vendors basically pay for the show and should be treated as such. they are in no way second class, a matter of fact they are the ones who shine through this all. except for the 1st day the other 2 days were slow. But if they guests were basically forced to get their food in the back of the room they would mingle more with the vendors.

This is a wonderful way to refresh dermatology knowledge and update practice protocol.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The conference admin did a good job of organizing. It Would have been helpful to send the new meeting link at the start of every day. In the first two days I didn’t get the new link, so I just logged in with my old one, not realizing that this was how the attendance was tracked. The admin dealt with it right away and resolved the issue. Otherwise, there were a few virtual link related issues, but everything went smoothly for the most part.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well organized meeting, great topics, especially alcohol and physician

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well done meeting

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great job!!!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Emails were going to spam

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I liked the virtual visits. I hope we keep it at 25 credits

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great lecture. Dr. Dockery’s lecture was excellent

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

There was a little too much down time at certain points. Also, it was a bit confusing with watching the lectures on one platform then having to switch to another for non-credit talks, and the sign in links were sometimes confusing – they were in the email but then also in the chat bar, just one place is better!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very good. Able to provide virtual meeting from the comfort of home.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I was surprised but the virtual setting was great for me.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well organized. Ran on time. Able to see and hear all presenters. They provided a dry run to test your computer audio prior to the meeting.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Meeting had excellent speakers. Enjoyed surveys and case discussions.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Organized. Well run

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very well organized! They have their act together. The conference is well organized, excellent faculty, great content. Very few. glitches, and those handled with efficiency and aplomb. I am already planning to attend DERMot 2020.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well organized, Excellent lectures, very well run

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Not enough variability in lectures. Not enough clinical lectures on treatment of onychomycosis.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well organized.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very well organized with specific App available on your iPhone

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Excellent

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well run, excellent topics.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Excellent informative meeting

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This meeting had all very outstanding and topical presentations The workshops as well

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great speakers

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very knowledgeable speakers

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

It is a wide range of dermatological concerns of the foot that need not be overlooked. We are to give the patient our full attention no matter how small the issue is!!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The information is excellent, and provided in a wonderful form. It would be improved if there was more connected in how to apply this directly to practice, not just the information behind it.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This was an excellent conference and great value. Loved the fact that it was virtual. This made it accessible for international attendees. Given the pandemic, as well as the cost of travel, plus the logistics of trying to schedule down time away from my busy practice, there was really no way that I would have travelled to the conference venue (pandemic or no pandemic). Most speakers were very engaging and presented highly relevant derm info from a podiatric perspective. It was an intense and highly informative conference.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

No lectures on warts? I felt that 50% of the lectures were great and 50% were forgettable. There were multiple lectures on rare disorders. If we could hit home the basics a bit more I’d really appreciate it. The nail council content is always fabulous, more of them please. Dock Dockery does a great job with relevant content. I felt like this year they were thinking of what was done in the past and wanted to do something different, but I disagree. Let’s hit home the most important stuff year after year – nail fungus, nail surgery, warts, skin cancer, then the multitude of rashes and disorders presenting in the skin.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Some lectures don’t relate to a practice private practice but otherwise it was excellent

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very relatable since a lot of our work is derm/foot related

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The lectures were diverse and different from previous DermFoot meetings, which was much appreciated! Other conferences spit out the same information year after year and that gets old quickly. DermFoot has consistently provided a variety of topics – all relevant to how I practice – as well as interesting refreshers on topics that may have been briefly discussed before. The content is interesting every time and the speakers tend to be quite engaging.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This is an area that I always need to improve.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great topics. Great info. Great app as well with handouts.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very useful information

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Every meeting has had something I can take home and use my first day back in the office. The presentation topics and the workshops are all too quality and useful. Lots of great meat on these meeting bones!

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Amazing lectures, very pertinent to every day Podiatric practice

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

International superstars in their field

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Relevant

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Well run, good content, excellent speakers.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Reiterate the content was on targerc

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Subject matter informative

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Poor topics.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Some content was helpful. 2 lectures back to back on techniques in anesthetizing a toe was a bit beneath the audience, those sitting around me agreed. Moreover, reviewing current concepts in treating fungal nail infections likewise was redundant, as nothing new was really presented. positives, lectures regarding diagnosis, management of skin lesions including subungal lesions was helpful.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Allows a practitioner to about a sufficient amount of CME for the investment.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Very satisfied

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Great value 23 credits is a great value, no issues noted.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This satisfies my license renewal requirements for both states I am licensed in – one is an annual renewal, the other every other year. I like having to just do one conference a year to meet my requirements, and also save time and money!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Plenty, what I needed.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Scanning was quick and easy

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This conference is, in my opinion, a great value for my meeting/continue using medical education dollars.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Perfect

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

All lectures were attended and the meeting flowed well

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Days were long

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

A good amount of credits packed into 3 1/2 days.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Could be cheaper since it is virtual.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

With the discount via Ivan Bristow’s site, it made it affordable in Canadian dollars.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Comparing to other seminars it is very comparable

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Most virtual cme conferences range from $175-$200.00 without food.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Reasonable cost for credit number 23-25

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Excellent cost not over priced.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This conference tends to be slightly less expensive than others, which is great when you aren’t reimbursed by the practice. It also is helpful when you have travel expenses as it makes the entire event more affordable.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Wish it had been a little cheaper. Had initially paid for the in person conference but Covid hit and they did NOT offer a refund, only a credit for 2021.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Worth every dollar. Very reasonable, a lot of quality content, a great cme investment.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

In line with most

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

$500. Too high

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

No additional costs associated with virtual meeting.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I really like the virtual format

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

virtual no cost

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

No cost virtual!

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

This year and last year there were no additional costs as the conference was virtual. Previously the cost was enough to actually think about whether or not I could register and attend. Things cannot stay virtual forever as some of my CME requirements must be met with in person learning, so I hope that additional costs do not prohibit me from attending another DermFoot!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

N/A Being able to attend virtually saves these additional costs!!

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I had no costs

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

No additional costs. I even made myself watch at work on Saturday to ensure I would not fall asleep.

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

No more than other meetings, but I feel I am getting more content, or the highest quality, for my money spent.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Hotel was awful. Parking was awful.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The hotel food area was just ok Surround areas had great places to eat

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Hotel was convenient.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Free parking Nice hotel Upscale area

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I did this at home online, however I had to be up at 4:30am to view it at EST, which is fine.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Again not an issue this year or last due to being virtual. Hopefully any accommodations for future meetings will be comfortable and cost effective

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The hotel was tired, and old

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The hotel was very good. Excellent staff and service.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Old, worn out dark hotel

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Hotel needs major update

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Always look forward to what is out there for us to use and better the manner of how one practices.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I own a lunula and a swift

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

I attended a virtual conference with the National Medical Association for 2 days and I was given a Grubhub eCard for meals delivered to my home each day. This was reasonable and expected. It is was held in person meals would have been included.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

It is hard to do this virtually. Maybe a live web cam to talk to the reps remotely?

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Not much to choose from this year but that is understandable given the virtual nature of the event.

-2021 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

The main thing I missed was the in person vendors. I normally get excellent samples each year that I use!

-2020 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Needs more exhibits

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

A good range of vendors, good products.

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Found all usual participants

-2019 PHYSICIAN ATTENDEE

Not enough room for exhibitors. Exhibitors, for the most part are local to the area, doesn’t help pods from outside local area.
