A Letter From Event Director, Sarah Gordon

I can’t believe 2013 is already drawing to a close. If your year has been anything like mine, time has flown and you probably haven’t quite checked off all your personal and professional development goals this year. 

Here’s the good news. IIR’s Medicare Congress, now including the D.U.A.L.S. Forum is coming up in February right in the heart of New Orleans. And, if you still have funds in your professional development or training budget remaining from this year that you just didn’t get a chance to use, consider saving your seat at the Medicare Congress. 

The Medicare Congress is the only Medicare event that provides health plans with the tools they need to drive next generation healthcare management. The Medicare Congress 2014 has expanded to include the D.U.A.L.S. Forum, Star University, Clinical Care and Customer Centricity focused content. Hear directly from health plan heavyweights from companies such as People's Health, Cigna and Gateway Heath Plan to ensure you are set yourself up for success by capitalizing on the new opportunities evolving in the Medicare landscape.

Don’t hesitate—start 2014 right by crossing off some professional goals with The Medicare Congress. I hope to see you this February! 

Best, 

Sarah Gordon
