Getting the Most out of Conferences
|
by M. George Puziak PMP
As a CEO, I look at conferences differently than many of those who attend. For me, the bottom line is ensuring a return on the investment of my resources, both human and financial. Prior to committing either people or budget to attendance at a conference, I review several things, starting with the Conference Host; their competency and name recognition in the industry/field; the detailed agenda of presentations, panel discussions and sessions; and, working with company senior leadership, we develop our objectives for a given conference. We then make an assessment on who will be attending, from the perspective of presenters, resources, current and prospective clients.
For KPG Revenue Cycle Management and RCM ToGo, the pre-conference process looks something like this:
ACTION: GE announced the dates and location for Centricity LIVE 2016.
KPG RCM RESPONSE: Our president, Kathy Puziak, appointed our Director of Business Intelligence, Stephen Stoyko, to find the "particulars", as mentioned above. A list of objectives was then developed; associates identified how best to meet those objectives and detailed planning began.
Attendees reviewed the published agenda to identify those sessions they wished to attend. Once the input was consolidated, Stephen hosted a meeting of attendees to ensure all ideas, voices and concerns were adequately addressed. Desires were bounced against organizational goals for the conference and detailed plans were made. Presenting at major conferences is a "win", allowing the company to support conference organizers while also demonstrating the capabilities and expertise of the company and our associates.
A master hour-by-hour calendar was prepared; it was agreed that everyone would keep notes at every session attended and, during informal company sessions at the end of each day, observations and takeaways would be discussed and noted for a brief post-conference review.
Using a similar process, Stephen then incorporated desired face-to-face meetings into the overall conference detailed schedule, to maximize the business to be conducted on-site at the conference. Conferences provide a rare opportunity to interface with national companies, current and prospective clients. Hope to see you there.
