Since the initial Palooza quiz I developed back in the fall using Sporcle was so widely praised and played, I figured I’d create a sequel. My logic is that sequels are always better than the original (see Godfather 3, Police Academy 5, etc.).

Here is the link to the quiz — http://www.sporcle.com/games/bakeet14/palooza2.

There is even a hook this time around — get 100% on the quiz on your first play and get a free registration to CMEpalooza Spring. Since the quiz is hard and no one got 100% on the fall quiz, I’m not that worried. But maybe I’ll alert our Accounting Department just in case.

Our phones have been ringing off the hook, our email inbox filled to capacity days ago, and now they have even started camping out on the doorstep of our headquarters (now up to 16 stories and 550 full-time employees).

Everyone has the same question — “When will we see the official CMEpalooza Spring agenda?”

The wait ends now. Additional details on each session can be found on the Spring tab, but here is the nitty gritty.

Why We Matter: Successful Strategies for Demonstrating the Value of CE within Your Own Organization

We hope to have the agenda for CMEpalooza Spring ready for public unveiling in the next few days (probably Monday), but in the meantime, we wanted to give everyone an update on the other important component of our event — namely, our sponsors.

For those of you who have been living under a Fraggle Rock for the last year (“Dance your cares away, worries for another day…”), this is our second time accepting sponsors for CMEpalooza, and we’re thrilled that so many folks in the CME community recognize the value of attaching their names to our event. We especially love those who post and tweet their love for us on social media — since we do most of our promotion through free online platforms, we’re always happy when others help us spread the word to their networks.

There are currently 9 sponsors whose information can be found on the Sponsor tab of our website, including our 3 newest bronze-level sponsors — CME Outfitters, Global Academy for Medical Education and PlatformQ (all first-time supporters). Here is the full list, as of Feb. 11:
