CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW

A Personal Message from Don Buford, Founder & CEO, iiBIG:

Please Note:
THIS WILL BE A VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

Dear Friends:

Just when we thought our long-running annual conference would finally be able to reconvene IN-PERSON – in Nashville* – the surges in Covid-19 ‘Delta Variant’ cases and hospitalizations – especially in areas where vaccination rates are low – compels us to go VIRTUAL.”

After receiving feedback from our clients, including over 30 re-confirmed members of our outstanding faculty, I can’t ask you to risk your health and that of your family and friends. Nor do I think it wise that we postpone this meeting, yet again.

Consequently, our 13th Annual ‘Investment and M&A Opportunities in HEALTHCARE’ will STILL BE HELD – September 20th & 21st as a VIRTUAL conference.

For over 13 years our loyal clients and newcomers alike have relished the opportunity to get together each year in Nashville. This will be the first time in over a year that we bring this community back together, and we feel it is important that we forge ahead – this time, virtually.

Obviously, the Covid-19 pandemic has had – and is still having – a profound effect on the overall economy… but none more than on the healthcare industry. What exactly this means for the healthcare industry is still being digested. This meeting will provide a virtual “face-to-face” opportunity to unpack some of the key issues affecting deal-flow in the HEALTHCARE sector… and more.

I hope you and your friends and colleagues will REGISTER TODAY and join us VIRTUALLY on September 20th & 21st.

Best regards,

Don Buford, Founder & CEO
