3 Ways to Get a Free Pass to e-Patient Connections 2010
March 22, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
We get daily requests for free conference passes from people who are interested in attending our conference but just can’t afford it. These requests often come from students, patients, the unemployed, or someone working in a startup or small non-profit. Here is what you need to know if you want to come to the conference for free.
First, we wish we could just let all of you come for free but we can’t. From the WiFi to the food to the videos to the marketing, this conference costs big bucks to produce. You would be shocked if you knew what we have to pay for a pot of coffee. We are moved by your situation but just can’t accommodate everyone. Having said that, here are 3 ways to come for free.
1) Volunteer — we need about 10 volunteers. You can read details here and then apply if you’d like to volunteer.
2) Submit a Pecha Kucha talk idea — these are 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide, presentations. For an example of this style see Carlen Lea Lesser’s presentation from last year here . If you have a great topic and can deliver in a compelling way, submit the idea by July 16th and you might win one of 6 slots.
3) Get 4 other people to register — Do you have a blog, e-mail list, lot of Twitter followers or just know a lot of people? If so, we can set you up with a unique registration code that you can use in your messages about the conference. If 4 people sign-up to attend using your unique code we’ll give you a free pass. Ask kelly.miller@kruresearch.com for your unique code but please don’t bug her unless you’re really going to use it; we want you to get a free ticket, but we don’t want to spend a ton of time setting up codes that never get used.
Thanks for your interest and support. If one of the ways above don’t work for you this year, there’s always next year!
Thanks and hope to see you!

With all the great stuff from last year and more, e-Patient Connections is back at the Bellevue Hotel for its sophomore year! Just like last year, we’re assembling an agenda sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. You’ll experience fast, innovative, and inspirational talks by world-class speakers, in-depth case studies, hands on sessions, and panel discussions with industry experts. Even our popular 20 slides in 20 seconds pecha kucha presentation session will be making a repeat performance, as will our well-appointed conference bag. But that’s not the most exciting stuff – the most exciting stuff is what’s new. And that includes the Crossroads of e-Patient Connections – 4 specialty conferences that will take place on the afternoons of our conference days. Led by experts in the industry, you’re invited to attend 1, or sample all 4, over the two days. We’re also adding Pre-conference Workshops on the afternoon of Monday September 27, 2010. Check back often as we’ll be adding new workshops over the next few months.
We’re so excited to be continuing to make connections – can’t wait to see you in September!
