Letter from Conference Chair

From the 2009 Conference Chair

Dear Colleague:

It is my honor to chair this year’s national conference, which is well on its way to topping all of PMI’s conferences to date. This year, we have invited exhibitors and planned activities and prizes that will add a new dimension to your conference experience and give you the best value for your training dollars.

Top national presenters along with your favorite PMI faculty will be here and they are all bringing tips, tools, and techniques to share with you at the conference. You will leave with a bonus toolkit of valuable resources that will help you become more successful in your profession and ultimately help you lead your practice to better performance and heightened profitability.

Our conference theme is all about change and especially about empowering you to make a real difference in the profitability and productivity of your practice. Whether your area of concentration is compliance, coding, reimbursement or general management of the practice, you will benefit from the networking, resources and experts that will give you the best value for your training dollars. PMI certified professionals can earn all 12 CEUs for annual renewal in this one learning event.

Whether you plan to travel solo to San Antonio or attend the conference with colleagues, everyone will have an opportunity to win valuable prizes and take home great memories of San Antonio. PMI’s staff and advisory board will host groups of participants as conference concierges. Their job is to make your overall experience in San Antonio fun and memorable. Your conference concierge will help you with any questions about your accommodations, provide you with maps of the downtown area and share coupons for local restaurants and activities to take part in while you are here.

Now more than ever we need to embrace our industry’s constant state of change. Our leading experts will share first-hand knowledge about the changing face of health care and teach you advanced skills to help you excel in your profession. You are guaranteed to walk away from this conference with the advanced training you need to make a real difference in your practice’s overall profitability. We will share resources and ideas, network with fellow participants from across the country, learn how marketing the practice is becoming increasingly essential, and ensure that compliance with government regulations remains a priority.

We need you here this year! Your participation helps to shape the educational experience for everyone in attendance. Hundreds of repeat attendees have made this conference their annual training event. With all of the added attractions, activities and prizes, this really is the must-attend learning event of the year.

I am looking forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
