Hospitals, medical device manufacturers, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, technology companies and the health care investment community will need, now more than ever, a forum to discuss how to prepare for new regulations and opportunities and act individually and as industries.
And that’s just in health care. Virtually every company and industry association
will be affected by the health care law and corporate leaders will need to
thoroughly discuss continuing compliance strategies.
It makes a powerful case for a corporate or association
meeting.
Here in New York City, we have seen dynamic growth of
innovative health care companies and health care technology firms. We
have also managed meetings for international Pharma manufacturers, insurance
companies, and large associations with heavy business components. With over 90,000 available hotel rooms in the
city, meeting planners can quickly find the amenities and business components
they need to schedule a productive forum.
Let’s hope politicians in Washington understand how
important these meetings will be. MPI
recently released a toolkit that helps planners justify the need for meetings whenever
the media or Congress claims it’s a waste.
If politicians in Washington continue to stand by behind
ObamaCare, then they also need to stand behind corporate meetings that will
help it work better.
