Medical Conference Marketing

Scientific meeting branding, program design, and attendee engagement for medical associations and device manufacturers.

Where Medicine Meets Marketing

Medical conferences are high-stakes events. Thousands of physicians, millions in sponsorship revenue, and months of planning—all hinge on effective marketing. We help medical associations and device manufacturers build conference brands that drive attendance, engagement, and sponsor ROI.

Conference Branding & Visual Identity

Every medical conference needs a visual identity that works across digital and print. We design conference brands that:

  • Reflect the scientific focus and specialty (laparoscopy, cardiology, radiology, etc.)
  • Differentiate from past years while maintaining association consistency
  • Work across all touchpoints: website, emails, signage, programs, badges
  • Appeal to both attendees and sponsors

For AAGL (American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists), we create annual conference brands for their Global Congress and regional FMIGS and EMIGS meetings. Each brand is unique but visually tied to AAGL's identity.

Program Design & Print Production

Conference programs are reference tools, not just schedules. We design printed programs that attendees keep, with:

  • Session schedules with room locations and CE credits
  • Speaker bios and headshots
  • Exhibitor listings and floor maps
  • Sponsor recognition and ad placements
  • Educational content and clinical abstracts

We handle layout, print production coordination, and on-site delivery. For large events, we also produce daily newsletters, poster session guides, and post-conference summary books.

Registration & Attendee Campaigns

Driving registration requires a multi-channel approach. We create email campaigns, landing pages, and paid ads that:

  • Target physicians by specialty and geographic location
  • Highlight keynote speakers, CME credits, and networking opportunities
  • Use urgency tactics (early bird pricing, capacity limits)
  • Retarget past attendees and association members

For AAGL's conferences, we manage year-round email campaigns promoting registration, abstract submission deadlines, and speaker announcements.

Speaker Promotion & Engagement

Physicians attend conferences to learn from leaders in their field. We promote speakers through:

  • Speaker spotlight emails and social posts
  • Video interviews and session previews
  • Social media toolkits for speakers to share
  • On-demand content and post-event recordings

We also produce speaker profile videos, capture conference presentations, and edit highlight reels for marketing future events.

Event Signage & On-Site Materials

Conference signage needs to be functional, on-brand, and impossible to miss. We design:

  • Wayfinding signage (session rooms, exhibit hall, registration)
  • Stage backdrops and speaker podium graphics
  • Banners, posters, and directional signs
  • Badge designs and lanyards
  • Sponsor recognition boards and branded spaces

For AAGL's Global Congress, we coordinate dozens of signage pieces across a multi-day event with 2,000+ attendees.

Sponsor & Exhibitor Marketing

Medical device manufacturers sponsor conferences to reach physicians. We help associations market sponsorship packages and deliver sponsor value through:

  • Sponsor prospectuses and sales materials
  • Exhibitor promotional campaigns (booth location, product launches)
  • Sponsored session branding and signage
  • Post-event sponsor reports (attendance, engagement metrics)

We also help device manufacturers maximize their conference ROI with pre-event email campaigns, booth design, and post-event follow-up.

Social Media & Live Coverage

Conferences generate real-time content. We manage:

  • Pre-event social campaigns to build buzz
  • Live coverage during the event (session highlights, speaker quotes)
  • Event hashtags and attendee engagement
  • Post-event content (recap videos, photo galleries, testimonials)

For associations, social media extends the conference reach beyond attendees, building year-round engagement.

Post-Event Marketing & On-Demand Content

The conference doesn't end when attendees leave. We extend the event's value through:

  • On-demand video access for sessions and keynotes
  • Post-event emails with session recordings and resources
  • Highlight videos for promoting the next year's event
  • Survey campaigns to gather attendee feedback

We also create "save the date" campaigns immediately after the event to capture early commitments for the following year.

Virtual & Hybrid Event Marketing

Many medical conferences now offer virtual attendance. We build marketing campaigns for hybrid events that:

  • Differentiate in-person vs. virtual benefits
  • Promote on-demand access and live-streamed sessions
  • Drive virtual registrations with lower price points
  • Engage virtual attendees through chat, Q&A, and networking tools

For AAGL, we've supported both fully virtual and hybrid conferences, adapting branding and messaging for each format.

Our Conference Marketing Experience

We've managed conference marketing for AAGL since 2018, including:

  • AAGL Global Congress (annual, 2,000+ attendees)
  • FMIGS Annual Meeting (fellowship program directors)
  • EMIGS Annual Meeting (residency program directors)
  • SurgeryU (hands-on surgical training symposia)
