Why is there no virtual exhibit hall?
The Foundation's top goal for the virtual Clinical Conference is for the user to have a top-notch experience.  Whether that experience be from a doctor viewing the lectures to a commercial interest looking to support the Foundation this fall, the experience is most important to us.  Virtual exhibit hall offerings offer different experiences for exhibitors and we felt that offering an opportunity to showcase your company through advertising, rather than being required to staff a virtual booth for the extent of the conference, was the best decision for this event.

Isn't the advertiser's section like an unmanned exhibit booth?
Yes, it kind of is like an unmanned exhibit booth- for less than half the cost of an in-person event and for double the length of time since the advertiser's information will be available Thursday-Sunday instead of just Friday & Saturday.  Feedback from exhibitors we spoke with who have participated in virtual exhibit halls has shown that staffing a virtual booth for up to 8 hours a day can be tedious so this passive form seemed to be the best approach.

How many DPMs will participate in the Virtual Clinical Conference?
We are hopeful to have 300 doctors register for the meeting.  It is hard to know how many will sign up, but early indications are this is a reasonable estimate.  Approxmiately 400 DPMs participated in the 2020 Virtual Clinical Conference, a license renewnal year for podiatrists in PA.

What meeting platform are you using for the Virtual Clinical Conference?
The Foundation selected HopIn for the meeting, to be managed by Motown Digital out of Troy, MI.  The HopIn platform can be seen below.

This is the landing page where all of the advertisers will appear; meeting attendees click on the company they want to visit.

This is the "inside" of a specific advertiser's area.  A video can be shown, company name and logo appear, and the attendee can click the customizable button for more information or to take advantage of a show offer.
