How Should I Manage Registering a Group?

The first, and (easiest way) to pay for a group of attendees is to include any additional team members as “guests” on the primary registrant’s registration form. Team members registration fees will be added to the primary registrant’s, and can all be paid at one time. However, the primary registrant will be responsible for selecting and updating session choices for the whole team. 

If you’d like to have team members register themselves and have autonomy over their own session agenda selections – simply have everyone differ payment upon registration. Selecting “Pay by Check” from the payment options will differ this fee. Once everyone has registered, you can then reach out to stephen@pfccpartners.com to request an invoice for your group. Invoices can be paid by check or card. It is okay if we “close-out” following the event. Just have your team sign up (and differ payment) and join us!

Will food be provided?

Of course! A light continental breakfast, coffee, and tea will be provided to fuel your mind and body for the energizing day ahead. And a healthy lunch will also be included. Coffee will be served all day, just like at the PFCCpartners office.

Can I participate virtually?

Accelerating humanity in healthcare is a bold goal for our 11th annual PFCC Conference.  We have decided to prioritize the power of being together, in-person, for this event. Main events, keynotes, and popular sessions will be recorded virtually and made available on our YouTube channel in the weeks following. 

PFCCpartners hosts a rather sizable suite of free virtual offerings for people to engage with person-centered care programming and discussions. Sign up to get updates on upcoming Community of Practice Workshops, or view previous Workshops on our Youtube channel.

Is there a scholarship for Patient/Family Partners?

Yes, Patient/Family Partners who require financial assistance to attend the Conference can apply for the PFP Scholarship. Recipients of the PFP Scholarship will be granted free registration. Those outside of 100 miles from the conference center will also receive a $500 travel stipend.  We strive to support a significant presence of diverse lived-experiences at our event. If you are a patient or family caregiver who needs financial support to attend our event, please apply.

But what if I don’t want to miss the Center’s for Medicare & Medicaid Conference (CMS) Quality Conference?

We know you may have had conflicting feeling when CMS announced their conference date (after we “called it.”  We understand. But don’t worry, we will live stream your favorite government agency’s Quality Conference in a separate room of the Cal Endowment Center. Pop in to view what is happening in Washington, DC.

What is happening on Monday (5/1), prior to the Conference?

The Patient/Family Partner Community Open House! Hosted by the PFAnetwork, this walk-in event is for all patients, family caregivers, and community leaders. Regardless of experience partnering with health care partners. Every voice and story is critical for transforming our health system. We invite you to join us to connect with others who share this passion-filled work.

Is the conference ADA accessible?

Absolutely, yes.  All conference venue locations provide accommodations for accessibility.
