EXPLORING OR TRANSITIONING TO THE MODEL?
You're asking the right questions. Find the right answers here.
If you're wondering whether concierge or membership medicine is right for you, CMF is the most direct way to get real answers — from physicians, nurses, specialists, and industry leaders who've made the transition and built something worth showing up for.
Understand how the model actually works in practice
Ask physicians what they wish they'd known earlier
Compare approaches — concierge, DPC, hybrid models
Leave with clarity and a direction forward
WHO COMES TO CMF
ALREADY PRACTICING SOME VERSION OF CONCIERGE MEDICINE?
You’ve built it. Now let’s make it better, together.
CMF is the one place where everyone in the room already speaks your language. No explaining the model. Just real conversations about what's working, what's not, and where the field is headed.
Refine patient experience and retention systems
Hear what practices across the country are doing differently
Explore tools and services in the Exhibitor Hall
Connect with the community that gets it
WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
01
Clarity on your model
Which structure fits your goals, your market, and your patients — explained by physicians and industry leaders already running it.
02
Operational frameworks
Pricing, patient experience, staffing, and retention approaches from practices that are running well. Practical, not theoretical.
03
Vendor access
The Exhibitor Hall puts the field's leading tools and services in one room — so you can compare, ask questions, and make informed decisions on your schedule, not theirs.

WHO COMES TO CMF
The Exhibitor Hall: meet the tools and the people built for this model.
The CMF Exhibitor Hall is curated specifically for concierge and membership medicine. Every company in the room serves this space — so you're having focused conversations with the tools and services that apply to how you practice, not sifting through vendors built for someone else's model.
Whether you're looking for an EHR built for concierge practices, membership management software, patient communication platforms, or financial services that understand your model — the Exhibitor Hall puts them all in one room, in one afternoon.
For attendees: The Exhibitor Hall is your opportunity to explore solutions on your schedule throughout the event.

PAST CMF FACULTY —
Your experience could be the thing
someone needed to hear.
Share it.
CMF is built on one idea: that we learn best from each other. If you're a physician, specialist, nurse, PA, or practice administrator who has built something worth sharing — a system, a lesson, a hard-won perspective — the CMF stage is where it belongs.
CMF Faculty — Faculty at the Concierge Medicine Forum have included physicians and leaders from Cleveland Clinic, Atrium Health, Massachusetts General Hospital, Emory Healthcare, Ohio State, and health systems and independent practices across the United States.
CMF Conference Standards — The Concierge Medicine Forum is an educational conference. Every session is selected for clinical, operational, or leadership value. Vendor sponsors support the event — they do not program it. Sponsored content, lunch and learn sessions are clearly identified as sponsored content on the schedule. This standard has been in place since CMF's founding and will not change.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We've done the legwork. You pick what fits your budget and your style.
CMF guests come from all over the globe with all kinds of travel preferences. Some want boutique and quiet. Some want upscale and energetic. Some just want the most convenient and budget friendly option so they can focus on the conference. We've found options in all three categories — and we've tried to note honestly what each one is best for.
Booking tip: Check Google Hotels, your preferred loyalty program, and the hotel's own website — rates vary and you may find a better deal than what's listed anywhere else. All distances listed are approximate, measured by vehicle.
three Amenity-Rich Areas with five hotels to choose from, just Minutes Away!
Just minutes from the Forsyth Conference Center, attendees can choose from three amenity-rich areas that make conference travel easier—and more enjoyable. Halcyon offers a quieter, boutique feel with walkable dining and green space. Avalon brings energy and upscale options with hotels, restaurants, shopping, and outdoor gathering spots all in one place. The Collection at Forsyth is the closest and most convenient, with everything you need just steps from your hotel. Different vibes, same goal: stay close, eat well, and relax without overthinking it.
Avalon | Alpharetta
Avalon is Alpharetta’s premier live-work-play destination, offering a walkable mix of upscale hotels, excellent dining, boutique shopping, and inviting green spaces. It’s an ideal place to stay during the Concierge Medicine Forum—comfortable, convenient, and designed to make your time outside the conference just as enjoyable as your time inside it.
Three (3) nearby hotel options include The Hotel at Avalon, Autograph Collection, EVEN Hotel Alpharetta (IHG), and Courtyard Atlanta Alpharetta—all just minutes from the conference venue and steps away from restaurants, coffee, shopping, and outdoor gathering spaces.
Travel Distances (by vehicle):
Atlanta (ATL) Airport: approximately 45–55 minutes
Forsyth Conference Center: approximately 15–17 minutes
Staying near Avalon means an easy arrival, a short commute to the conference, and everything you need—meals, meetings, and moments to unwind—right outside your door.
Halcyon | Alpharetta
Halcyon in Alpharetta is a modern, walkable destination that blends great dining, boutique shopping, and open green space—so your stay feels intentional, not just convenient. It’s the kind of place where everything you need is close, and nothing feels rushed.
Staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Alpharetta at Halcyon puts restaurants, walking paths, and space to unwind right outside your door—perfect for decompressing after a full day of sessions.
Travel Distances (by vehicle):
Located just 5–10 minutes by car from the Forsyth Conference Center, Halcyon makes it easy to get to and from the Concierge Medicine Forum without the commute stress.
Flying in? Atlanta’s airport is approximately 45–55 minutes away by vehicle, depending on traffic (yes, that’s normal for Atlanta).
Simple logistics. Comfortable stay. Room to breathe.
The Collection | Cumming, GA
The Collection at Forsyth is a modern live-work-play district in Cumming, offering easy access to great restaurants, shopping, and open green space—without the hassle of long drives or crowded city traffic. It’s relaxed, convenient, and built for travelers who want everything close by.
Staying at Home2 Suites by Hilton at The Collection puts you steps from dining, casual meeting spots, and walkable outdoor areas—perfect for unwinding after a full conference day or catching up with colleagues without leaving the neighborhood.
Travel Distances (by vehicle):
✈️ Atlanta (ATL) Airport: approximately 50–60 minutes
🏛️ Forsyth Conference Center (Concierge Medicine Forum): approximately 5 minutes
Bottom line: walking [outside] distance (10-minutes) fewer logistics, more comfort. The Collection makes it easy to stay close to the conference while enjoying space to relax, recharge, and grab a great meal—all in one place.
Book through whatever channel gives you the best rate.
There's no CMF-specific code or negotiated block. Use your loyalty points, a travel deal, or book direct — whatever works best for your situation. The hotels listed here are options we've found work well for CMF guests. You're not obligated to any of them.
