PHOENIX (August 28,2020)—Back in late February, Medtrade organizers announced that Medtrade Spring would get a new name and a new home. As a quick memory refresher—starting in 2021, the event will be re-introduced as Medtrade West and will convene in Phoenix, Ariz., April 12-14, 2021.
“Perhaps Phoenix can double as a metaphor for renewal,” says Mark Lind, show director. “The event is eight months away, and we believe face-to-face trade shows have more value than ever. Will things be ‘back to normal’? Probably not, but we believe we can convene a safe, productive, and successful show. That all starts with presenters who want to share their expertise.”
With an optimistic eye to the future, the Medtrade West 2021 Call For Presentations is officially open. Medtrade officials are looking for:
- speakers who are willing to share their successes and struggles;
- experts with knowledge to bestow; and
- dynamic providers with something to share.
Because attendees are enjoying the interactive and crowd-participating panels, it will remain a focus for 2021. The deadline for submissions is Friday, Sept. 18
Program Guidelines
Your program should address one of the educational tracks listed below. Sessions are either 1 hour or 1.5 hours in length with time for Q&A. The sessions will be formatted as free-flowing and interactive. Although there will be a combination of the standard “standing behind a lectern” classroom format, a good portion of next year’s sessions will be a town hall/panel format. Each town hall presentation will be presented by two or more “discussion leaders” and will allow the discussion leaders the option to facilitate an interactive presentation.
As a part of the educational advisory board’s (EAB) selection process, town hall/panel presentations with two or more discussion leaders will take precedence over single speaker sessions. In addition, sessions with providers participating will be given top consideration.
Please submit under one of the following tracks:
- Business Operations
- Executive Leadership & Planning
- Legal
- Medicare Updates*
- Retail
- Sales & Marketing
*submit ONLY if you are CMS or Medicare Contractor
