Heading down the homestretch of our final preparations for CMEpalooza Spring (it’s like, Wednesday, in case you forgot), we’re doubling up on the blog today by rolling out the last in our “Sneak Peek” presenter interviews. On this one, we check in on Monique Johnson, MD, from Imedex, who will be kicking things off in our Spring extravaganza at 10 a.m. ET.

Going first at a conference always brings with it challenges and opportunities – you usually have a more attentive audience that has not been worn down by session after session, but it’s also up to you to set the tone for the rest of the day. After talking with Monique and her co-presenter, CMEpalooza veteran Audrie Tornow from Paradigm Medical Communications, I think we’re in good hands.

What do you think of when you think of spring?

Baseball? Hot dogs? Apple pie?

Yes, maybe (more July 4th), and probably not (apple pie is so 20th century).

But what about CMEpalooza? Of course, our event is now a staple of the spring, and we’re fortunate that Genentech’s Caroline Robinson will be combining two of our favorite spring pastimes in her upcoming session How Strong is Your Bullpen?

Since Caroline’s session with Kathleen Moreo from PRIME Education is our Gold Sponsored lunch session, feel free to indulge in whatever springtime culinary favorite you’d like.

For a sneak peek of her session, check out Caroline’s video below.

We are now exactly 1 week away from CMEpalooza Spring, and what better way to celebrate than with a sneak peek into crowd favorite Jason Olivieri’s presentation, A Dissection of Feasible Interpretive Tangents From a Discrete Comparative Assessment in CME (aka: What Does My Outcomes Data Mean?) Jason will be joining the exclusive 3-Time CMEpalooza Presenter club, and we are thrilled to have him back again.

As a warm-up to Jason’s session next week, I recommend first viewing his session from CMEpalooza Spring 2015, Secrets of CME Outcome Assessment…Revealed. As you can see, he has a flair for creatively titled sessions, which he combines nicely with practical tips that really pull in the audience. Watch that one, then check out the overview of his next session below.
