Good question. We’ve been doing this for a very long time. We understand the needs our attendees and our Speakers. We routinely have over 50% of our Speakers so excited about their presentation at our FORUM that they often make last minute adjustments to their presentations to you at the last minute. Therefore, it’s impossible to have all those changes inserted, printed and distributed to our guests before you arrive.
We will however, distribute all conference materials at check-in or during the event. PLUS, we make ALL of our “Permitted” Slide Decks available within 10-business days AFTER the Conference to ALL of our Attendees. Not too mention, if you look at the reverse side of your name badge/printed lanyard, you’ll find instructions on how and where to download these “Slide Decks” which have ALL the changes we talked about inserted into them that our faculty, Physicians and presenters may have made along the way! -
No. You might think this seems like a strange question, but we’ve had stranger questions believe it or not. So the answer to this question is of course, NO.
-
No. We take our attendee list very seriously and your trust. We do not provide an attendee list to attendees. Only current year sponsors receive the current year attendee list after the event. To learn more about sponsorships, please click here.
-
No. You might think this seems like a strange question, but we’ve had stranger questions believe it or not. So the answer to this question is of course, NO.

Of course! We’ve got A LOT of great speakers and presenters each year so this is a question we get asked a lot. If you didn’t get a chance to connect with a speaker or attend a session and would like to request the slide deck (if provided/granted by speaker), please let us know. We’ll be happy to email you a copy of their slide deck ONLY IF the speaker granted us permission to share it with attendees. Email email editor@conciergemedicinetoday.org.
