Last week, AFG joined the MMGMA at Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan for their annual Spring conference. Members attended from around the state to visit with exhibitors, and learn more about health care developments, practice management strategies, and more. AFG participated as an exhibitor.
AFG participates as a business partner with the MMGMA because of our extensive experience in employee benefits for medical practices. The annual Spring and Fall conferences offer an opportunity to exchange ideas and share our expertise with current and future clients.
Last Wednesday was a day of preparation, as we arrived early to check in to the hotel and set up our booth. The day ended with an evening networking reception, where we already had visitors stopping by the booth! Thursday was the first full day of the conference, and members were very busy between informative breakout sessions and time with exhibitors. In addition to learning more about the MMGMA members and their employee benefits, we gave away some cool prizes, and were glad to accept members votes for our booth in the Spirit Award!
The dinner reception on Thursday also included strolling entertainment. You could admire the talents of jugglers, men on stilts, magic tricks, and sword swallowing. It was certainly entertaining! We wrapped up the week on Friday with another great session with members. As for the prize giveaways, the winner of our Keurig prize was Roxanne of Northern Billing Specialists. Our booth was such a hit, that people kept asking about our infamous “Peacock Plate” which we ended up raffling off to Pat at NetMD Business in Livonia. Congratulations to you both, Roxanne and Pat!
