New and forthcoming regulations are fueling dramatic changes in meeting planning and commercial support. You've told us that it would be valuable to have a forum where you could openly discuss your challenges with your colleagues — and share strategies for surviving in the new regulatory environment.

Toward that end, Medical Meetings is co-sponsoring the Center for Business Intelligence's fourth annual CME conference: Comply with Guidelines and Standards to Maximize Physician Reach. Topics will include:

• Planning the best event the law allows — how to keep the “Wow!” factor in doctors' meetings without raising a red flag for government and industry regulators

• Organizing consultant meetings in compliance with regulations

• Developing effective, ethical partnerships between industry and CME providers

• Elevating the public perception of industry-supported CME

The conference, supported by a grant from Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, will take place June 10 to 11 at the Park Hyatt Philadelphia.
