There are so many reasons why you should attend Conclave. Here are a few:
Award-Winning Keynotes
If you have previously attended Conclave, you know to expect top notch educational sessions on topics you need to stay on top (and ahead) of. This year's keynotes promise to exceed that expectation, with topics like:
- The Assumpt! The Dangers and Opportunities of Your Assumptions | Andy Cohen, founder of Andy Cohen Worldwide
- How Hotels Evaluate Your Business (The Hotel Industry 2.0) | Michael Dominguez, CHSE, Senior Vice-President, Chief Sales Officer, MGM Resorts International,
- Front Row Leadership | Motivational speaker Marilyn Sherman
- Event Technology Trends for 2015 | Julius Solaris, editor of EventManagerBlog.
But don't just take our word for it. Successful Meetings recently named two of our keynote speakers, Michael Dominguez and Julius Solaris, among "The 25 Most Influential People in the Meetings Industry for 2015." Come and hear them both speak at one event!
Health Care Focus
The health care sector, once considered a niche area of meeting management, is growing, and so is the need for a similarly specialized certification. Along with required reporting and transparency, understanding compliance is critical for anyone involved in health care meeting management. This year, CIC is offering a pre-conference session dedicated specifically to health care meeting management at Conclave! The Healthcare Meeting Compliance session is designed for planners and suppliers who need a broader understanding of a full range of global regulatory topics. Facilitated by Pat Schaumann, CMP, CSEP, DMCP, HMCC, director, Professional Development-Healthcare Sector, MPI, this session will provide attendees with the information they need to successfully navigate the increasingly complex pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device regulatory environment. If you work in the health care industry, this is a session you can't miss!
Affordability
The CMP Conclave is one of the most affordable conferences for meetings professionals. At $450 for two-and-a-half days of education and networking, it's practically a steal! Your CMP designation demonstrates that you know the importance of investing in yourself; Conclave helps you continue to do it wisely.
