The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative’s (PCPCC) “Spring Stakeholders Conference,” April 23-24, 2012 is at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC. The conference is right around the corner so this is the perfect time for your organization to think about the strategic opportunities available to provide meaningful support and participation.  All sponsorship commitments must be confirmed by Friday, March 23, 2012. 

We would like to offer you the rewarding opportunity to connect your organization’s name with this educational and informative networking event, and demonstrate your organization’s support for PCPCC and the patient-centered medical home health care delivery model.  I am very pleased that our recent October 2011 meeting was a great success in terms of attendance and many of members and supporters took advantage of the valuable exhibiting space and sponsorship opportunities. We were filled to capacity in every regard and so will be offering these options and more again for the April 2012 meeting.  However, sponsorship opportunities will go quickly so the earlier to commit the better as to take full advantage of the variety of marketing opportunities.  It is important for organizations to secure a spot early!  The following is a list of sponsorship options for 2012:  

PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Sponsorship Opportunities  Take advantage of this unique opportunity to expand your reach to an audience of nearly 500 highly influential and experienced professionals. Sponsorship of a PCPCC meeting offers you strategic positioning and access to the nation’s medical home and health care delivery reform thought-leaders and policy-makers. Our meeting programs are structured to encourage maximum attendance. Events include a pre-meeting networking reception, registration, continental breakfast, refreshment breaks and lunch.

Guidelines for Sponsorship:
Please know that if your organization has a special body of medical home work or evidence that you would like to showcase, please submit information for consideration by PCPCC’s Board and meeting planning committee. Although we gladly accept recommendations from sponsors over conference content, sponsors do not have approval or disapproval authority of agenda topics or speakers. PCPCC makes all final decisions on the event content.  It is to be understood that the PCPCC will seek sponsor funding for its conferences from as many sources as possible. Sponsors may not seek the exclusion of any particular organization that is shown to be supportive of the PCPCC’s mission of advancing the PCMH.  Acceptance of contributions does not imply PCPCC endorsement of sponsor’s products, services, mission statements or general activities. The PCPCC will recognize sponsors in its conference materials and website as outlined in the sponsorship benefits.  It also reserves the right to approve use of its logo and conference materials by the sponsors. If you are interested in discussing this opportunity further, please contact PCPCC staff, Kelli Pedas at [email protected]  or 202-251-8056.
