Medical Practice Excellence: Leaders Conference

Attendees and presenters will include executive and operational leaders from health systems and medical practices of all sizes. Early-stage careerists are encouraged to attend but should understand that the content and challenges discussed will be aimed at those in leadership roles.  

Business Casual. We recommend you dress in layers as the Convention Center can get chilly.  

After careful consideration and consultation with internal and external health and safety experts, MGMA has determined that MPE: Leaders Conference can be the safest, most robust, productive and interactive conference possible by requiring vaccinations for entry.
 

No. For the safety, security and peace of mind of our guests, we are requiring COVID-19 vaccinations to attend the MPE: Leaders Conference.
 

In the coming weeks, we will communicate how to easily and securely submit proof of vaccination. More information will be released as we finalize the plans.
 

For the purposes of right of entry to MPE: Leaders Conference, an attendee must produce a CDC-provided proof of vaccination card with accompanying photo id. That card informs us when a person is considered fully vaccinated:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, or
• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

On or before October 9th is the last day to receive your final vaccine dose to be eligible to attend the conference.

Masks are strongly recommended for attendees. MGMA is waiting on a mask mandate due to the rapidly shifting nature of the pandemic. MGMA will closely monitor local, state and national guidance to guide any further safety protocols.

MGMA will continue to update this website and provide additional communications to attendees and exhibitors; please check back regularly. If you have additional questions please contact service@mgma.com for attendee questions or exhibitors@MGMA.org for exhibitor questions.

MGMA has partnered with 4 hotels for the conference. To see what the discounted nightly rate is for each hotel, go to our Location page. In order to book a hotel, you must first be registered for MPE Leaders Conference. During the registration process, you will be asked to book your hotel. This is the only place you will receive the housing discount. 

All hotel reservations require a valid credit card number to guarantee your room. You will be charged one night’s stay if you cancel after the specific hotel’s cancellation cutoff. Any changes or cancellation to your hotel reservation can be made with the MGMA Housing Bureau through Oct. 8, 2021. Any changes after this date must be made directly through the hotel. Rates do not include city and/or state sales tax. Applicable taxes may apply; please check specific hotel for details.  

Your designated hotel may charge your credit card a deposit equal to the first night room rate plus tax on or after Oct. 8, 2021. Deposit will be forfeited if you do not check in on your scheduled arrival date or do not cancel 48 hours prior to arrival, and your room will be released by the hotel. Be sure to verify checkout dates at check-in as an early checkout may result in an early departure fee.  

Staying at one of the official conference hotels allows MGMA to negotiate better rates in the cities you want to meet in and helps MGMA keep registration costs down. When booking through the official housing block, you’re supporting the Association by avoiding fees that result from significant sections of the room block being reserved but left unfilled or canceled at the time of the conference. If MGMA does not achieve a minimum number of overnight accommodations, the process of service will increase registration fees for future programs.  

We encourage you to contact your respective airline for a refund or credit towards future travel. If you booked a hotel room in our group room block via Maritz Global Events, please contact their customer service at mgma@maritz.com to cancel your hotel reservations. If you did book a hotel room on your own outside the block, we recommend you cancel your reservation at this time.
