Communications Conference 2007

Communications 2007

Designed Exclusively for Health Insurance Plan Communications Professionals

This year's conference, "Health Care Moves Center Stage: Communicating Effectively in the Spotlight," offers a unique opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer discussions with your colleagues in the industry on today’s most important topics. This is the one conference tailored to your needs as a communications professional working for a health insurer, and it offers programming you won’t find anywhere else.

In addition to topics such as the impact of new media on our industry, PHRs, consumer engagement, and the role of health care in the ’08 election, our conference will include a session, as it does every year, on how you can continue to grow and develop your own career. The conference will also include panel discussions such as the one we are developing with knowledgeable medical directors who will offer insight into how we can communicate about evidence-based medicine and comparative effectiveness making health care better for individuals, but are often difficult to explain in plain language.

This year we are bringing back the popular roundtable sessions that we began as a new feature last year, offering you the opportunity to delve into topics such as reputation management, how the health care dollar is spent, health literacy, and communications surrounding obesity - to name a few. The roundtable sessions will be offered at two different times on the agenda, to ensure that you are able to participate in the discussion that most interests you.

The conference sessions will focus on the strategic but we insist that every session include practical approaches you can use in your day-to-day responsibilities. One such session – a workshop on communications surrounding disasters – will end the conference and include a hands-on activity allowing participants to practice the approaches that have been recommended.

Attendees from the Communications Conference report this is the one event they don't want to miss each year. With unprecedented and unparalleled opportunities to interact with colleagues on the industry's biggest challenges, networking events, and the connections between old friends, this conference is one of the more valuable events for communicators in health care.

Audience:
AHIP's Communications Conference 2007 is a highly focused meeting where the leaders from health insurer's PR, public affairs, marketing, community relations, investor relations and related teams explore hands-on strategies to enhance communications with the media, the community, members, and their internal colleagues.

(Registration is limited to health plans and health insurance companies.)
