Hear what some of our previous attendees had to say:

“The conference brings together a group of people that are willing to share their knowledge and people that are thirsty to lean more to increase their skills and knowledge.  In this sharing the individual benefits and the industry benefits and in turn all the patients that are receiving the benefits of the drugs Pharma produces.”

Jane Halligan, Senior Manager Global Strategic Sourcing, Schering-Plough

“While there are many resources and opportunities available for planners to learn, develop professionally and network, this event is especially unique since it focuses specifically on our industry.  There are session options available for people of all skill levels and interests.  I wish my entire team was available to attend!”

James Vachon, Associate Director, Millennium, The TAKEDA Oncology Company

"Another great conference – you should be very proud. For those of us who have been returning each year, as well as for those just getting grounded in pharma meeting management, this is clearly a "must attend" event. Top of the line education and non-stop networking – congratulations."

Carol Krugman, CMP, CMM, Krugman Maller LLC

“This year’s conference was the BEST one you’ve ever had in my opinion and I heard many others with the some feedback.   It was relevant from a compliance / regulatory perspective as well as from an economic perspective.  The dialogue among hotel suppliers, third party suppliers, and pharmaceutical planners & leaders was unlike anything I’ve seen at other conferences.  I also thought the general session speaker was truly exceptional and have heard many of us quoting him already.  I appreciated a general session w/ less “bells & whistles” but with true content that kept us on the edge of our seats!” 

Julie Hills, Senior Director of Pharmaceutical Industry Sales, Hilton Sales Worldwide

“This conference is always outstanding and the topics are current.  There are sessions for all levels of planners and meeting partners.  The conference is one of the only places where pharma planners can get together and discuss all of the specific trends and intricacies of planning medical meetings.”

Angie Duncan, CMP, CMM, Vice President, Operations, VMS Meetings

If you want to stay on the cutting edge, this conference is by far the best opportunity to learn about the most current issues facing the meetings industry. There are multiple networking opportunities to be had and numerous workshops that address every level of learning from novice to seasoned professionals. If there is one conference you are permitted to attend annually …..the best ROI for you and your company can be found at this conference!

Marianne Demko-Lange, CMP, CMM, Director, Strategic Meeting Management Support, Wyeth

“This conference is very important to the entire meeting industry and could not have come at a better time, we all need to band together and stay informed.”

Kim Groth Kerns, Senior Meeting Planner, Medtronic, Inc.

“This year’s program was excellent. We were able to not only network with our suppliers, but we had great educational activities and dialogue with others in the industry. This helps us better prepare for the industry trends and changes and have the tools in place for successful programs of our own.”
Melissa M. Schepacarter, CMP, Meeting Manager, The Institute for Continuing Healthcare Education

“The best of its kind - by far the most bang for the buck. Excellent speakers, timely content, and valuable brainstorming between planners and with suppliers. “
