PMRG's 2010 Annual National Conference theme “Waves of Change: Preparing Wisely for Healthcare’s Uncertain Future” will focus on the ever changing healthcare industry. The focus will be on industry trends, challenges in the marketplace and how to adapt to such changes. The conference will offer two dynamic keynote speakers, along with general sessions, break-out sessions and panel discussions which will primarily be selected from submissions from the Call for Papers along with a few invited speakers.

Monday’s Key Note Speaker is the best selling co-author of Made to Stick, Dan Heath. His latest book, Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard, is sure to be thought-provoking and entertaining. He touches upon topics that provide insight on the relevance of change not only in our lives, but also in significant social arenas such as healthcare and in the workplace.

Tuesday’s Keynote Speaker is yet to be announced, but expect a dynamic speaker with a Healthcare/Pharmaceutical background focused on our theme of “…Preparing Wisely for the Future."

The 2010 Annual National Conference will be held at Disney's Contemporary Resort on March 21-23, 2010.
