Conferences on a budget

If you’re feeling like your budget is a little tight this year, don't worry. There are still options that can work for you.

1. Start by checking out state or regional conferences. Simply Google “2018 Dental conferences in New York” or “California Medical Conferences 2018” and you will come up with a good list of conferences closer to home.
2. You can also look for regional chapters of each of these larger organizations listed above. Your local chapter will often host events or small conferences in your area.
3. You can also attend a “topics-driven” event like the MGMA Practice Operations conference in Phoenix AZ. These are smaller conferences put on by the larger organizations. They tend to be a bit more affordable.
4. Finally, many conferences offer online versions for a much more affordable price. Do a little digging around and you may be able to “attend” without ever leaving home.
