Organizations may apply for sponsorship by completing the CMF sponsorship application.

Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance. Sponsorship participation is confirmed only after written approval from the CMF event team.

Yes. While the venue does not require sponsors to submit a COI directly to them, CMT's Sponsorship Agreement requires all sponsors to maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. A COI must be submitted to CMT by October 1 (editor@conciergemedicinetoday.org).

Failure to provide proof of insurance may affect your ability to participate.

Standard exhibit tables are typically 3’ x 6’ and include:

• table with skirt
• two chairs

Sponsors may bring banners, signage, and demonstration materials consistent with venue guidelines.

Sponsors are responsible for transporting, installing, and removing their materials.

CMF is a professional, physician-focused conference. Exhibitor participation is limited to educational, non-clinical engagement.

What is permitted

Sponsors may:

• Demonstrate products in a non-invasive, observational manner

• Share educational information, data, and use cases

• Engage in professional discussions with attendees

• Display measurement-based tools that do not involve treatment or physical manipulation

What is not permitted

Sponsors may not:

• Perform or offer treatments, procedures, or clinical services

• Conduct hands-on demonstrations involving attendees

• Use massage tables, treatment beds, or similar equipment

• Perform diagnostic testing, scans, or physiological assessments involving physical contact

• Conduct live “before-and-after” demonstrations on attendees

• Engage in any activity that may be interpreted as medical care, cosmetic treatment, or patient-like interaction

Key distinction

CMF distinguishes between:

• Measurement / informational tools (generally permitted with limitations)

• Intervention / treatment-based activities (not permitted)

All exhibitor activities must remain non-invasive, educational, and appropriate for a professional medical conference environment.

CMF reserves the sole right to determine whether an activity is permitted and may require modification or cessation at any time.

CMF is intentionally designed as a smaller, relationship-focused conference. Typically, 225-325 but attendance levels vary from day to day and year to year and are not guaranteed.

Sponsors should plan participation accordingly.

Yes, but only once your organizations’ representative has received their badge. After receiving your badge, you will find instructions at your assigned table and how to access the latest attendee list. CMF does not provide early access to attendee lists nor sell prior CMF lists.

CMF does not sell attendee lists.

If attendee information is provided as part of a sponsorship benefit, it must be used solely for legitimate follow-up related to the event and in compliance with applicable privacy and communication laws.

Sponsors may not resell or redistribute attendee data.

Updated September 2026

Who receives the CMF attendee list?
Confirmed sponsors and exhibitors receive access to the CMF 2026 attendee list, which includes speakers, attendees, and sponsor representatives. Access is provided through a private, password-protected page and is intended only for the receiving organization.

How many times may I email someone on the list?
Two times, maximum. You may send each individual one email before the event and one follow-up email after the event. The follow-up must be sent no later than November 16, 2026 (30 days after CMF concludes).

Can I add attendees to my CRM or email marketing system?
No. Contacts from the list may not be uploaded, imported, or stored in any CRM, marketing automation platform, email service provider, newsletter, drip campaign, or other database.

What if an attendee replies and wants to keep talking?
That's welcome. If an individual responds to your outreach and personally asks for further contact, you may continue the conversation based on their request. At that point, the relationship is theirs to direct, not the list's.

Do my emails need an opt-out?
Yes. Any commercial email must include a clear opt-out option and comply with applicable laws, including CAN-SPAM.

Can I share the list with a partner, reseller, or agency?
No. The list may not be sold, rented, shared, or distributed outside your organization, and may not be used for spam or bulk marketing.

How long can I keep the list?
All copies must be deleted by November 16, 2026. The list access page expires November 10, 2026.

Why does CMF limit list use this way?
The people on this list trusted CMF with their information. They came to learn and to meet colleagues, not to be marketed to. These guidelines protect that trust, which is what makes CMF valuable for attendees and sponsors alike.

What happens if these guidelines are not followed?
Misuse may result in termination of sponsorship privileges and restriction from future CMF participation, consistent with the CMF Sponsorship Agreement.

How do these guidelines relate to the Sponsorship Agreement?
These list-use guidelines apply in addition to the CMF Sponsorship Agreement: Terms, Conditions & Rules. By receiving, downloading, or using the attendee list, your organization agrees to them.

CMF exists for one reason:

To create a predictable, high-trust space where physicians and care teams can think clearly about how to build something that lasts.

We are not driven by political agendas.
We are not built around venting sessions.
We are not structured as a pitch festival.

We are built around practical leadership.

The healthcare industry does not lack opinions.
It lacks durable models.

CMF asks better questions:

• How do you design a membership practice that is financially sustainable?

• How do you lead a team without burning out?

• How do you protect the physician–patient relationship?

• How do you balance excellence in medicine with excellence in leadership?

• How do you build something that still works five years from now?

This conference is intentionally structured to focus on:

• Clarity over noise

• Substance over hype

• Alignment over volume

• Education over promotion

Because when physicians lead well, patients benefit.
And when practices are sustainable, communities are strengthened.
