Dear MD Expo Colleagues,

First, we hope everyone is doing well and remaining safe and healthy during this difficult and trying time. We understand that the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic poses unique challenges for everyone. MD Publishing is committed to doing our part to reopen and help everyone get back to business.

As you’re aware, we postponed the April MD Expo scheduled to be held in Irvine, California to this upcoming July 27-29. Unfortunately, we were recently notified by Hotel Irvine (the venue) that they plan to remain closed through July, and likely for the remainder of the year, as they plan a remodel for the property.

This is a situation unlike any we’ve faced previously. We had an event planned, but no venue to hold it. So, we took this opportunity to redesign how this program will look because MD Publishing wants to be a leader in restoring conferences to the HTM community.

We are moving forward with our events in 2020 with a new, safer format that supports state HTM associations.

Here is our outline for the remainder of 2020:

The scheduled MD Expo Irvine has been replaced with three (3) smaller, regional HTM Mixers. We understand that participants may be hesitant or unable to travel so by providing local, regional conferences, we will be able to provide the education and networking that they need. If hospitals can’t come to us, we will go to them.

What are HTM Mixers?
Think of them as MD Expo 2.0 – a slightly modified, smaller, shorter-duration, less-crowded and safer-environment event that still provides valuable continuing education, networking and vendor engagement opportunities.

NEW HTM MIXER SCHEDULE FOR 2020

We are dedicated to ensuring exhibitors and attendees can do business in a safe environment. You can learn more about the HTM Mixer approach at htmmixer.com.

The fall MD Expo is still scheduled for November 8-10 in Tampa, Florida. However, we are not taking booth reservations at this time. We are currently redesigning the exhibit hall floorplan to create more space between booths as well as restructuring the agenda to remove general session events from the schedule. Details will follow in the coming months with updates about the MD Expo Tampa event.

We thank you for the patience and trust you have afforded us as we start the process of reopening our industry and getting back to business!
