“What we love about this conference is the manageable size and the appropriate audience.”

"For ACS/MIDAS+, the Forum is a rare opportunity to make contact with a broad range of current and prospective clients of our products. The national and international health care improvement leaders that attend the Forum are the decision makers in the purchase of products as well as an excellent group for exchange of ideas. They represent an excellent audience for our message, as well as excellent sources of information that helps us to meet the rapidly changing information management needs of the health care industry.”

Sponsor Testimonials

 

"The week after Cogent's sponsorship of a National Forum lunch, we experienced a 58% gain in traffic on our website and also had the single busiest day we've ever had on our site. The excitement surrounding our sponsorship and the attention we received will ultimately result in more sales for us. We look forward to sponsoring again next year as it has become a significant part of our overall marketing strategy."
