CommSoft’s Dave Geoghegan and BEAD Solutions’ Bill Griffin recently got together to explore what the challenges are within the rural telecom space when it comes to going after private or public funding. They’ve been on the road talking to tradeshow attendees, partners, and other industry experts about funding, specifically BEAD. Find out what they discovered in our Real Conversations series.   Our first installment focuses on the decision-making process of “Do We Really Want to Bid?” Deciding if you should bid for BEAD funding is sometimes harder than actually doing it.

Conference preparation involves a host of different deadlines, from poster submission, to shipping cutoffs, to exhibit setup windows. And, let’s be frank, not all conferences are great about communicating these deadlines, which doesn’t put you in any less of a bind if you miss one. It’s time to stop the rush and anxiety that comes with conference season. Let us help: https://hubs.li/Q02fgSBx0 #lifesciencemarketing #biotechmarketing #conferences

I've been struggling with some important information that I should let you know as it wasn't an easy decision to make.   The upcoming March 1-3, 2024 San Diego Pain Summit (SDPS) will be the last SDPS conference.    It's been an amazing 10 years and 11 SDPS conferences (2 of them were completely online). It's been a wonderful thing to see the positive influences that SDPS has had on so many people.    When I started the first one in 2015, I actually didn't plan on organizing any more conferences but decided to continue doing more and it's been a lot of fun.    What hasn't been fun are the financial struggles that come along with organizing an event with no financial support except for what is brought in on registrations and video sales. Because of this, I've decided it will be better to discontinue the conferences, rather than accrue debt.    It is my hope that one day a group with more resources will be able to pick up and continue hosting the kind of amazing content that has always been the core of SDPS.    Thank you so much for all your support over the years, I appreciate you very much.   SDPS as a company will not be closing. There are likely to be smaller classes hosted by SDPS in the future.    I'm really excited about the upcoming 11th SDPS and have been working on some really fun displays that will provide a variety of ways to spark creativity. So, if you've signed up to participate in person ~ I can't wait until you see them!   If you have signed up yet, there are still seats available to join in person. You can sign up for all 3 days or just the 2 days. As always, the dinner party will be a fun way to meet your peers and the speakers ~ this year there will be a magic show!   If you're unable to attend in person or virtually via live streaming, you can purchase early access to the recordings of all talks on March 1-3. These are only available for purchase until March 10th.    If you're unable to afford the recordings, they will be released free to watch on the SDPS YouTube channel in December of 2024. 

In just the past few months, major rules from CMS, ACL, and HHS have all put high priority on making public services more accessible to people regardless of gender, disability, age, or economic status. This makes information and referral even more important. I look forward to hear how 2-1-1s, aging and disability resource centers (ADRCs) and other referral partners are evolving to meet the growing challenge!
