What are the essential 2023 marketing, communications, and web conferences for hospital and health system marketers?
Who doesn't enjoy attending healthcare marketing conferences? They're not only a fun break from the 9-to-5 but are also invaluable for friendly socializing, professional networking, information gathering, and personal development.
Since you might only be able to attend an event or 2 per year, it’s important that you get the most out of your time and travel investment.
I've attended many conferences for hospital and health system marketers over the years, but this list represents my personal favorites — the ones I recommend to colleagues and clients and the ones I try and attend as frequently as possible.
Heading into its 28th year. the Healthcare Marketing & Physician (HMPS) Summit appeals strongly to senior-level leaders in marketing, communications, business development, digital, and physician relations. The organizers pride themselves on being at the forefront of trends, opportunities, and challenges — and tackling them head-on.
