MPI Tennessee Chapter’s Post

I posted some advice for new coders yesterday about taking chances, accepting opportunities, doing the thing, whatever it is... even if you have to do it scared. To take the chance because you just might surprise yourself. Getting comfortable with discomfort, right? Growth. You didn't think that was meant *just* for new coders, did you? I was talking to you... and to the mirror, too. 👀 I've mentioned a few times over the last almost two years now about how Norwood has pushed me outside my comfort zone, supported me amazingly, and allowed me to do and experience so many new things since joining this #oneinamillion kind of team. From my first article in our newsletter to being published by NAMAS; from first flight to 20 flights by end of this year (what?!); from first conference attendance to multiple on-site educations; from leading a team of auditors to leading multiple projects; webinars, interviews, podcasts... the list just keeps going y'all! Well, in just over a week, that list is growing again! 🌄 First time in Utah 💡 First time attending AHIMA 🍾 First time at a Norwood VIP event 🫣 First time presenting at a conference 👀 If you're attending AHIMA24, come say hey and meet our team at booth 1401 or listen in as Jason Jobes and myself present session 116: "Version Control: What the Shift From V24 to V28 of CMS-HCCs Means for Your Healthcare Organization (and You)” 👋 If you want to connect directly while we're in SLC, feel free to message me! #networking #norwoodrocks #whyisnorwoodeverywhere #riskadjustment #AHIMA #conference #presenting #growth #neverstoplearning #comfortablyuncomfortable

Preparing to host your annual conference next year? Conferences are an excellent opportunity to bring members, potential members, sponsors, and vendors together in person, which feels like a luxury after the pandemic. Certainly, you’re planning to have an amazing experience, but what happens if the unexpected happens? – Attendees get into an argument – Panelist is upset by moderator – attendees feel unsafe in the company of certain people – racist or other discriminatory remarks are made Wouldn’t you wanna have a safe, confidential, informal resource available to help attendees feel heard and resolve issues? That’s when Conference Ombuds are useful to have around. Your event planner or conference management staff can focus on running the event while the Ombuds can focus on the needs of the attendees. It’s a win-win win! Now is the perfect time to schedule a conference Ombuds, like me, for 2025 events and ensure your peace of mind. #eventplanning #dentalevents #dentalconference #aadgp #dentalforum #ados #aadom Photo credit: D Eisenberg Salamander Resort

Private Event Trends 2025: The Latest Industry Trends You Need to Know https://buff.ly/44mozMk #eventmanager #eventindustry #hospitalityindustry #restaurantindustry #restaurantrevenue #increasedrevenue

As event industry leaders, it's time to address the rising costs associated with ancillary services at convention centers nationwide. Convention centers, often government-controlled, are burdening event producers with high costs due to bond initiatives and the need to generate revenue. These costs, such as $5-7,000 for a single line internet connection or $750 per day for basic AV equipment, are ultimately passed on to exhibitors and attendees. In a climate where consumers are increasingly cost-conscious, let's come together as a consortium to engage service providers in constructive dialogue. By openly discussing the sustainability of current pricing models, we can ensure the long-term health of the events industry. While there may be differing perspectives, constructive conversations can lead to mutually beneficial solutions. Let's work collaboratively to address these challenges for the betterment of all involved.

All smiles…. Our client, team, and the Marriott Marquis Washington, D.C. staff are sharing a toast after another successful conference. There’s a lot of industry conversation about some events struggling –  a saturated market…low turnout… last-minute registrations, late sponsor commitments…to name a few. We’ve experienced some of this too. So, this conference on export controls hosting more than 1200 people is notable. Why? There were some planning challenges: Challenge #1: The program and speakers were not announced until close to show date. Result: Registrations sold out beforehand. Challenge #2: Rescheduled to avoid a government shutdown, the event was held during spring break leading up to a holiday. Result: They came anyway – some with families in tow. Challenge #3: The roundtables’ space was limited. Result: They sat (and stood) until overflow space was available.   The secret sauce? A strong, trusted community that delivers value in: 🔸Meaningful connections and engagement 🔸Business growth and opportunities 🔸Resourceful information   The challenges didn't matter -- those attending knew what they would get. Work your niche to deliver value – the smiles will come.   #eventdesign #eventprofs #innovation Marriott International
