More than 200 people registered for the first Webinar Wednesday session of 2015 and those in attendance learned how to be a biomed superstar!
MD Publishing President and Founder John Krieg presented “5 Ways MD Expo Can Help You be a Bigger Superstar in Your Profession” to kick off the second year of the popular TechNation webinar series. The informative session was well received with a 4.6 rating on a 5-point scale. Attendees shared their thoughts on the webinar and the Webinar Wednesday series.
“This being my first TechNation webinar, I was most impressed by the smooth delivery and flow of the presentation,” said Jeff W.
“(The webinar was) very helpful, especially if your hospital has a tight budget. I look forward to the webinars because the experts are doing the presentations,” Maximilian G. said.
Krieg discussed the history of MD Publishing and its signature event, including the first-ever MD Expo held 13 years ago at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. He said the MD Expo continues to “inspire, educate and empower” biomeds with a laid back and intimate environment as it supports and promotes the HTM community.
Krieg’s five bullet points on how MD Expo can empower biomeds and help them advance in their career included networking, exhibit hall/vendor relationships, workshops/product demos, how to seek administrative approval/support and education/CE credits. A recording of the webinar is available online at IAmTechNation.com.
MD Expo’s new features, especially the VIP Passes and the Attendee Toolkit, were hot topics during the Q&A session of the webinar.
Individuals can attend the MD Expo free by contacting one of more than 100 exhibitors to request a VIP Pass. A list of exhibitors with VIP Passes can be found in the Pre-Show Planner available online at MDExpoShow.com. The new VIP Pass option allows for complimentary admission for hospital employees, students and members of the military. The cost of registration without a VIP Pass is $100 for hospital employees, students and members of the military. Registration is $200 for non-hospital personnel.
The Attendee Toolkit includes a sample letter that biomeds can use to prepare a letter to their supervisor requesting permission and funding to attend the MD Expo. It outlines the many benefits of the MD Expo and can be found online at MDExpoShow.com. The Attendee Toolkit also has a sample Trip Report that HTM professionals can use as a template to record the educational sessions, networking and other experiences at MD Expo. It can be used to prepare a report for a supervisor after the event.
The Webinar Wednesday series continues on March 25 with “Outlet Strips and Extension Cords – Meeting the CMS Requirements Simply, Easily and Cheaply” presented by Pat Lynch. Webinar attendees earn 0.1 credits for ICC certification.
