Here is a list of medical marketing conferences on my radar to attend in upcoming weeks and months. There are so many worthwhile conferences and events each year that I do not get to travel to since I try to limit my business travel to only essential meetings. While I maximize time with family, I miss a lot of great conferences. The silver lining of COVID for me is that a lot of conferences and events are now virtual. I am attending more than ever before and loving it.
The medical marketing conferences in this list should all be educational and insightful for marketing professionals in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. If you do attend any and “see” me – say hi 😊
I will try to update this list as I see other in-person medical marketing conferences convert to virtual.
