Michele:
I have not ever set up at a medical conference but I would think it would be a good thing.  Anybody else try this?  Same thing with ads.  Sounds like a good idea but again, I haven't personally tried it.

PMRNC:
Most of the big ones won't allow you to and those that do want a vendor fee. I've seen billing companies have much better success preparing their own mini seminars or round tables. SOME times BCBS will allow their advertisers first dibs on free vendor booths at their seminars too.

You can talk to your local library, fire house, American Legion, VFW and I've even seen a biller hold a mini seminar at the golf course country club gave all attendee's free golf round :)

The thing about those medical conferences is that most doctors go go to them are doing so out of clinical educational reasons, they usually don't go there with any intent to be solicited. JMHO.

DMK:
When the doctor I work for goes to his continuing education seminars lunch (or a snack) is usually "sponsored" by someone who provides products or services for this specialty.  The sponsor gets a few minutes to say a little spiel about their product or service, or they just have handouts available at the snack table.

I went to one seminar and the specialty association had sponsored the seminar.  They then proceeded to harangue anyone who wasn't currently a member.  I refer to them as the "knee-breaker" association now and will NEVER join.  So tread lightly and be friendly!
