Always read the reviews.
If you want to know if that new restaurant a few blocks away is going to be any good, read the reviews.
If you want to know if that fancy doohickey that you think you just can’t live without is going to break within 2 months of your purchase, read the reviews.
If you want to know if your Uber driver is going to chat your ear off (we hate that), read the reviews.
And if you want to know if CMEpalooza is the grandest and finest meeting of them all for CME professionals, read the reviews.
(Funny how we have a few reviews from the most recent CMEpalooza handy. You know these are legit since we didn’t bother editing them. Yes, we’re just that lazy)
At CMEpalooza, I can enjoy top-notch content from the comfort of my couch or my less comfortable office chair. Heck, I can even get my steps in on my under-desk treadmill as I watch! (That’s not quite so comfortable this week given my enthusiasm last week….). Also it’s the perfect backdrop for my personal karaoke sessions – sadly no one else gets to hear me belt out Anti-Hero) – has the potential thrill of a Taylor Swift cameo and I can pick the sessions I love, (spoiler alert – all of them) and after a decade of running this show the tech is way smoother than my last family zoom call. The cherry on top of this delicious cake is the dry humour infused throughout….I like it a lot, it’s good craic as they say and I’ll drink to that. Slàinte Mhar!!
Its free, we hear from a ton of experts in our field (loved the AI one), I can be off screen to learn so get to wear my work jammies today. Also, the spring one I go to the office and clean it top to bottom, while fall one I stay hone and clean that office! Although this year I haven’t motivated myself away from the laptop, recliner, and the dog yet.
It’s a personal holiday! Hehe It provides so much needed information that is accessible and really helps me do my job better and allows me to be a #CMENerd in like company 🙂 So appreciate what you guys do every year!
Because it only makes sense for innovative companies to be associated with “The greatest invention since avocado toast!” (OK, we made that one up), we are again inviting CME providers, supporters, and service companies to take advantage of sponsorship opportunities with CMEpalooza Spring and Fall in 2024. Our events are scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, and Wednesday, October 16 – we’re working on making these international holidays, but no promises. North Korea is a tough nut to crack.
You may have heard that 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of CMEpalooza, which means that we’re doing something a little bit special for our sponsors. We’re calling it the “Bundle of Tin” (for some reason, tin is the traditional metal for 10th anniversary). If you bundle any two sponsorship opportunities, you get a 10% discount on the total cost of the sponsorships.
Of course, there is the usual gamut of sponsorship opportunities available, as well as other creative ways we’ve come up with to promote your company. We’ve thrown in a few new and improved goodies again this year to celebrate our 10th anniversary, as well. If there is anything particularly creative you have in mind, come talk to us, and we’ll figure out something unique.
