About Our Pricing Model
Why commercial rates are higher
Healthcare providers, government organizations, and non-profits are the core audience for our conferences. Keeping their registration rates lower helps make it easier for more decision-makers and end users to attend.
What this means for vendors
Commercial attendees are participating in a business development context. Our pricing helps support a healthier delegate-to-vendor ratio and reduces the risk of the event becoming overcrowded with suppliers.
Why that matters
A more balanced room creates better access to healthcare leaders, more meaningful conversations, and a stronger overall return on your time onsite. It also helps ensure the event stays focused on education, peer exchange, and relationship-building — the setting in which the best commercial conversations tend to happen.

My favorite conference I've attended to date
It is really tough to capture the online audience. This was done well. It is my favorite conference I’ve attended to date so far. The speakers were excellent, topics on the agenda are what enticed me. Even from the agenda the conference felt sincere and heartfelt. These topics aligned with my leadership style and could offer growth from where I am standing as a leader.
