For those of you who were unable to watch yesterday’s CMEpalooza Company Spotlight raffle, here is the video. It is eight minutes of the most riveting content you will watch today, unless, like me and Scott, you are a Sixers fan and plan to be glued to your TV for the NBA Draft Lottery tonight (they have a 0.28% chance of getting the #1, #6, and #11 picks in the draft. In Hinkie we trust!) If you’re wondering who won, I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but I’ll give you a hint: It rhymes with Meducational Easures.

Here are five things to look for in the video:

1. Unbeknownst to me, Scott showed up to the Hangout wearing a suit and tie. This made me laugh for a solid 5 minutes.
2. Yes, that’s a Duff beer shirt I’m wearing. Keeping it classy as always.
3. Scott apparently has no idea what a potluck is. He clearly didn’t grow up in a Mennonite home in Lancaster County like yours truly, where potlucks are a weekly occurrence at minimum.
4. A fairly decent explanation of what our vision is for the Company Spotlights. Like the original CMEpalooza, we’re going to give it a try and see how it goes. Hopefully it turns out to be something beneficial for the CME/CE community.
5. The hat hanging on the wall over my shoulder is different than the one hanging over my shoulder during CMEpalooza Spring. First person to correctly identify the difference wins the picture hanging behind Scott (I didn’t run this past him, but I’m sure he’ll be fine with it…)

At 1 p.m. ET today (Monday, May 18), we will be broadcasting a live drawing for a CMEpalooza Company Spotlight. All you need to do is go to the LIVE tab on this website to watch it.

There are 12 entries. The numbers attached to the entries here are the same ones that will be used in the drawing. We’ll be using a simple random number generator to select the winner.

3. ArcheMedX
4. CMEology
5. Genentech
6. Infograph-ed
7. Decision Simulation

Good luck to all.

There are still a few dwindling hours to enter your organization in the raffle for a free CMEpalooza Company Spotlight (entry deadline is 11:59 p.m. ET today). We’re up to 10 entries so your odds are being selected are reasonably good. If you have been dilly dallying about to entering, just send me an email saying, “Scott, my company would like to enter” and you are in. We have pharma companies, online education platforms, medical education companies, and others all in the mix so far, so don’t be shy.

Using my advanced math skills (don’t try to duplicate my methods as it takes a very complex Excel formula involving derivatives, factors and other terms that you wouldn’t understand), our 10 current entries each have an equivalent 10.0% chance of being selected as the winner of our raffle. If we get more entrants, I’ll adjust the formula and let you know once my supercomputer is finished crunching numbers for an updated calculation on Monday.

We will be unveiling the winner of the CMEpalooza Company Spotlight raffle during a LIVE broadcast on Monday, May 18 at 1 p.m. ET so set your calendar as “busy” now to join the million of others around the world for this momentous moment. Unlike those other selection shows you may be used to seeing, we won’t take 59 minutes building suspense before choosing the winner. Figure on maybe 2-3 minutes explaining what this whole Company Spotlight is, going down the list of entrants and their assigned numbers, and then I’ll fire up a random number generator to choose the winner. You’ll be back checking people.com for the latest celebrity news in 5 minutes.
