Friday, (All-Day, Minus General Sessions*; 8:15am-6pm ET)
Saturday, (8:00am-12pm ET, Minus General Sessions*)
How it works: Our exhibitor hall is crashing the General Session room Friday and Saturday as it always does at CMF. That means, our exhibitor tables are OPEN for business ALL DAY during the conference, minus General Sessions when speakers are presenting; so find time to peel away throughout the day and budget/use your time with them wisely; Don’t just visit their tables and learn about how they can/are/will support you during the breaks. Take time to pull them out into the Lobby or another room in the conference center to learn more and keep the conversation vibes going! They’re here for you! So, chat it up, be aware of your volume so as to not distract others experiences and make some new pals—CMF is a friendship factory!
For ALL EXHIBITORS, Everyone on your team is encouraged to get out from behind the table and attend the breakouts.

No. All you need to do is plan your transportation and hotel logistics. On either Thursday or Friday, when you arrive at the conference center, you will receive your ‘Conference Lanyard/Badge’ and at that time you must check-in with our registration table in the Forsyth Conference Center Atrium/Foyer/Lobby in order to confirm your arrival, receive your badge, additional SWAG and confirm/verify any additional name changes in your group/party. Entry is not permitted without registration and your badge.
-
You may be asked for a government id or other form of identification. Additionally, please have your “payment confirmation” or email handy at check-in. If you cannot find it, left it at the hotel or forgot it, that’s okay. As long as you registered as an Attendee, Speaker or Sponsor, we should be able to locate your name on our guest list. Please note, we may ask you to scan a QR code or sign at check-in that you have read and understand our conference participant/attendee updated terms and conditions before entry is permitted.

There is no hotel directly connected to the Forsyth Conference Center. This is intended to keep ticket/registration fees affordable for all participants.
But, we’ve got you taken care of with a list of local area hotels you can choose. Please note, Concierge Medicine Today no longer provides room block discounts at any of the hotels on this list.
You’ll be pleased to know that there are two hotels within a short 5-10-minute walking distance from the Lanier @ Forsyth Conference Center. Additionally, there are plenty of hotel and nearby dining options. Click here for a list of local hotels, 2 of which are within a short 10-20 minute walk of the conference center (depending all on how fast you walk, of course).
Please be aware, plan for inclement weather and dress in layers. The Atlanta area during October has been known to be rainy and cold but on the other hand, hot, humid, rainy and steamy.
Please be aware, there are no shuttles to the conference center from any hotel, so plan your transportation or ride share accordingly and plan early!
-
Sure! We’re happy to help you with some potential options to choose from.
The largest and closest international and domestic airport is as you probably already know … Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Airport Code ATL).
Rideshare, Car Rental or Taxi has been used by Conference attendees in the past. But, plan ahead as rideshare availability around the conference center and area can fill up quickly.
Hotel options within a 2-3 exit drive or even walking distance are plentiful. Here are a few local hotel options that Conference attendees have stayed at in the past!
-
Eat your heart out in Georgia, where restaurant and dining options range from casual to fine dining, and you’ll find all types of cuisines — especially Southern.
So you have three local area options.
First, our CMT Forum is within walking distance of two hotels, a shopping center area, multiple restaurants of all kinds, groceries, casual and fine dining, fast food and more. It’s called The Collection at Forsyth and is one option for an outdoor lifestyle shopping destination in Cumming, Ga. The Collection at Forsyth features a variety of premier national retailers, restaurants and a movie theater, as well as specialty local stores and eateries.
Second, The Avalon. It’s about 2-3 exits away (or maybe 15-20 minutes with rideshare). It has a lot of great green space and a hotel on the property. Visit: https://www.experienceavalon.com/
Third, the Halcyon is 1-2 exits away from the Conference Center as well. Visit: https://www.visithalcyon.com/
Additionally, we’ve included a list of our Staff Restaurant Picks which you may also find helpful. Click Here …

This is really an event you really need to experience in-person. We do not currently offer live streaming or a virtual viewing option during this Conference. However, if event organizers decide to offer this option, virtual tickets must be purchased through our event app. At present, no live stream is being planned. In the past, conference attendees have mentioned that it can distract the audiences. We may record certain sessions for playback and post them in our event app for paid ticket holders, highlighting certain speakers and sessions who provide exclusive conference content via webinar recordings. Any recordings, live streams or exclusive releases will be available for purchase in our event app and released in November, following the conclusion of our Concierge Medicine Forum, annual conference.

Concierge Medicine Today does not have control over this issue of recycling but that’s a great question, and an important one.
If this is important to you and critical as to whether or not you attend a conference, please feel free to call the Facilities Director/Event Planner at the Forsyth Conference Center at (678) 341-6633.

No. Except as specifically pre-approved in writing by CMT, no persons under 18 years of age will be permitted at Conference, including in meal breaks, cocktail receptions, lobby meetings, general sessions, breakouts and all other Conference venues or activities unless expressly permitted by Concierge Medicine Today.

At this time, we do not offer translators or translation services. Due to the disruption and discomfort this may create for the majority of our guests, no audible translations will be permitted in any breakouts or main sessions.

Yes! Of course we’ll have coffee! And a lot of it! There will be free, decaf, regular and hot water and tea options available throughout the conference.

Good question. We’ve been doing this for a very long time. We understand the needs our attendees and our Speakers. We routinely have over 50% of our Speakers so excited about their presentation at our FORUM that they often make last minute adjustments to their presentations to you at the last minute. Therefore, it’s impossible to have all those changes inserted, printed and distributed to our guests before you arrive.
We will however, distribute all conference materials at check-in or during the event. PLUS, we make ALL of our “Permitted” Slide Decks available typically within 10-business days (BUT NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 1st) and on or AFTER the Conference to ALL of our Attendees. Not too mention, if you look at the reverse side of your name badge/printed lanyard, you’ll find instructions on how and where to download these “Slide Decks” which have ALL the changes we talked about inserted into them that our faculty, Physicians and presenters may have made along the way!Download full (latest version) of “Participant Agreement T&Cs” (PDF)

Of course! We’ve got A LOT of great speakers and presenters each year so this is a question we get asked a lot. If you didn’t get a chance to connect with a speaker or attend a session and would like to request the slide deck (if provided/granted by speaker), please let us know.
