MAFP Sponsorship/Educational Grant/Exhibiting Opportunities

MAFP WINTER CONFERENCE
A very popular conference for both family physicians and grantors, the MAFP Winter Conference is held in late January or early February.  This is a Friday – Saturday meeting with an expected attendance of 60 practicing family physicians and their families.

CME sessions and displays are held in the mornings, with the afternoons free for family activities.

Companies are invited to exhibit at the conference.  The exhibit fee is $1,500, which will be used to cover conference expenses.

THE MAFP SPRING REFRESHER
The MAFP Spring Refresher has a long-standing reputation as one of the premier medical educational programs in the Upper Midwest. In 2011, over 400 family physicians, family medicine residents and medical students attended the Spring Refresher.

The 2013 Spring Refresher will be held April 18-19 at the RiverCentre in St. Paul.

Educational Grants
We are pleased to offer your company the opportunity to support a portion of the program by providing an educational grant. As a grantor, your company will be recognized on-site in the Spring Refresher syllabus, which is distributed to all attendees, and in the MAFP newsletter, the Minnesota Family Physician, which is sent to more than 3,000 MAFP members.

We estimate an average session costs approximately $1,000 per session. We request that funding provided be in the form of an unrestricted educational grant. Contributions to the MAFP are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

For more information, call Lisa Regehr at (952) 542-0130, (800) 999-8198, or e-mail lregehr@mafp.org.
