Experience
Conclusion
4. Major Issues:
• Decrease in Membership Retention
• Low perceived value of membership
• Budget cuts across the medical field
• Lack of attendees to conference
• Will the guests have a positive hybrid experience?
• How much will “Going Hybrid” cost?
• Will virtual guests be able to receive CME Credits? How?
Minor Issues:
• Sponsorship
• Limited Budget
5. Budget Cuts across the medical field cause
inability for guests to attend events.
Guests are interested in attending
virtually!
Decrease in membership retention due to
lack of perceived value and lack of funds.
Hybrid meetings will allow guests to
receive more benefits for a fraction of the
cost, while still earning the necessary CME
Credits.
6. Is a Hybrid Experience attainable on the limited
budget, and will sponsorship be difficult to
obtain?
We at P2 Meetings Group have the professional
capabilities and skills required to provide the
Hybrid Inclusion for the modest fee of $15,000.
By including an online environment, Sponsorship
capabilities are significantly increased as well.
