Planning an event for your medical practice? Do you want to engage more physicians so they know to refer to your practice? In this episode of the DrMarketingTips show, we discuss the importance of events for medical practices. Event marketing is one of the best ways to network and spread awareness about your medical practice and providers. 

From holding an event to opening a new location or introducing a new physician to celebrating an anniversary, events aren’t just about attendance. These events create opportunities to deepen relationships with referring physicians, your staff, and the local community. 

Learn about healthcare event marketing strategies, including how to prepare, what to do on the day of the event, and how to launch post-event strategies.
