Beer in Billings? Mocha in Minneapolis?

One of the best parts of my job is the opportunity to speak at conferences around the country. It’s always a blast to engage with audiences, visit new cities, learn what’s happening in different markets. But the most fun it getting to meet and hang with new people, whether it’s at a dinner the night before the presentation or a cocktail after. And this fall is shaping up to be one long social hour in that regard.

I’ll be in Billings, Montana next week, Wed, 9/23 – Fri, 9/25 for the Montana Healthcare Association Annual Convention, then back in Minneapolis to moderate a panel discussion at HealthCampMN on Saturday, October 24 (check out the audio interview with event organizer Albert Maruggi). Then it’s on to Springfield, Illinois on November 13 for the Illinois Society for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations (ISHMPR) 2009 Annual Fall Meeting.

Next year should be great as well. We have some new presentations in the offing, including “Yes we can! Measuring healthcare marketing performance” and “Integrating social media tools with your marketing campaign.” For more on these and other presentations (including a little surprise), download our 2010 speaker’s guide.

So if you’re in Billings, Springfield or coming in to the Twin Cities for HealthCampMN, shoot me an email so we can connect over a latte or lager. Drinks are on me!
