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.

Content was relevant
The content was relevant. The best was to change the view that cyber security is not IT-centric, so it must be viewed as patient-centric.

Fantastic conference for those who want to learn
Fantastic conference for those who want to learn from others in our industry, issues we are all facing, and possible solutions and tips to help us along the way.

Worth the price of admission...
I find it particularly helpful (and “worth the price of admission”) that you maintain registrants’ access to the conference recordings and materials for at least a year. My schedule compelled me to miss a number of the Live sessions — however, I was able to download the presentations that interested me the most and will be watching the recordings of those sessions at my convenience.
