There are many talented and knowledgeable professionals out there ready and able to rise to the next level. During this workshop, learn from professionals who have been in your place, benefitted from an amazing mentor and are now at the top of their field. Learn how to clear a path for recognition, establish trust and rise to the top. This workshop is designed for senior planner mentors and “rising star” delegates ready to engage in frank and open discussion, as well as produce actionable strategies.

This roundtable is a three-hour, informal discussion of new ideas and current challenges with a small group of your peers. During this workshop, candidly discuss current industry hot topics and benchmark with your peers. Prior to the conference, attendees will be surveyed on what they would like to discuss. World Congress will then work with the moderators to develop the ideal environment and workshop agenda. Come prepared to participate, learn and network with the best in the industry.

* In order to participate in this session, you must work directly for Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Medical Device or Health Care Company or an Association

During the first part of this workshop, develop a better understanding of the evolving regulations and changing dynamics of the industry and learn how to change your business in order to best meet your customers’ needs. The second half of the workshop will be a chance for Q&A.; Ask industry meeting professionals the questions that you have always wanted to know the answers to. We will be taking live questions but will also ask for questions prior to the program if you wish to remain anonymous.

World Congress, in partnership with Meeting Professionals International (MPI) and Saint Louis University, is pleased to offer the accredited Healthcare Meeting Compliance Certificate workshop. Every healthcare meeting professional must balance unprecedented changes and demands on understanding the global impact of health care compliance. They must tackle tough regulations, adjust and readjust priorities while keeping one eye on the short-term and the other long-term survival — a tough job without a continuing flow of knowledge.

Why not make an investment in your future and your company’s success by participating in the Healthcare Meeting Compliance Program? The Certificate is a program providing a foundation in key healthcare disciplines in a condensed format. It is designed for those (planners and suppliers) who need a broader understanding of a full range of regulatory topics.

This program, taught by professionals and faculty members, specifically trained to develop a competency foundation while building critical thinking skills through case studies, business simulation, discussion and active exercises. The intensive 4-hour educational and training program provides health care meeting compliance stakeholders with the knowledge and experience they need to successfully navigate the increasingly complex pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device regulatory environment.

Participants will:

• Enhance healthcare compliance management skills
• Recognize unique terminologies
• Process reporting management with samples
• Learn the who, what, where and how of the Physician Payment Sunshine Act (Open Payments)
• Obtain sales and marketing tips
• Understand transfers of values
