A NOTE ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

 

As the 2020 BMES Virtual Meeting approaches, we've heard a few concerns regarding registration pricing and questions about the platform itself. We want to assure you that the BMES Annual Meeting Task Force, Board of Directors, Annual Meeting Co-Chairs, and staff put hours of thought and care into determining not just the registration rates but also the overall experience for all #BMES2020 attendees.

 

When the news of COVID-19 made it clear that we would not hold an in-person meeting, BMES formed a Task Force to consider the options, the pricing, and most importantly, how to bring you an unforgettable experience.

 

After meticulous calculations, we realized that lowering pricing any further would critically impact the financial health of BMES as an organization. This year we did eliminate date-sensitive rate escalation and included a special $99 rate for non-presenting students.

 

We know nothing beats the face-to-face networking of an in-person meeting, but we are building a platform to create a dynamic experience! So why register for the BMES meeting? Because #BMES2020 will offer:

Unlike the in-person meeting, with #BMES2020 Virtual, you won't have to make decisions on which sessions to miss. You can attend them all!

 

We hope that you better understand the decision-making process and support us as we transition to a virtual event. We hope to see you at #BMES2020!
