CMF 2026 · SPONSOR & EXHIBITOR OPPORTUNITIES
OCTOBER 16–17, 2026 · FORSYTH CONFERENCE CENTER · ATLANTA, GEORGIA
SPONSORSHIPS
Reach the physicians building the next generation of medical practice.
This is not a volume conference. It was designed that way on purpose.
Our editorial independence is why physicians trust us — and why they attend. Sponsoring CMF puts you in front of a self-selected, decision-maker audience in a format they trust. You are one of a small, curated group of aligned organizations given real access.
This is a highly curated, relationship-driven event designed for meaningful conversations with physicians—not crowded exhibit halls.
CMF is the annual leadership conference for concierge and membership medicine, produced by Concierge Medicine Today—the industry’s independent trade journal since 2007.
A limited number of sponsor and table opportunities remain for this October.
WHAT PAST SPONSORS SAY
The conversations here are different
"We've sponsored a lot of medical conferences. CMF is one of the few where you feel like you're part of the event, not just placed next to it."
Past Lunch & Learn sponsor — practice management services
"The attendees at CMF are not browsing. They already know why they're here. That made every conversation we had at our table more substantive than most conferences we attend."
Past exhibitor — healthcare technology company
Access Over Volume
CMF is intentionally intimate (225–325 attendees), allowing for meaningful conversations—not simply transactional interactions.
Physician Decision-Makers
Attendees are primarily physicians and practice leaders actively shaping care delivery models.
High-Trust Environment
Produced by an independent trade publication, CMF creates a setting built on credibility—not promotion.
Designed for Relationships
Sponsors are part of the experience—not separated from it—creating more natural, productive engagement.
limited availability
A note on availability
CMF limits sponsor participation intentionally —
it is how we protect the physician experience that makes this event worth attending, and worth sponsoring. Speaking partnerships are sold out currently for this years event To get on the waiting list, click here. Several table options have already confirmed. If your organization is evaluating participation, we recommend submitting an inquiry early. A completed application is not a hold — sponsorship is confirmed only upon written approval and receipt of payment.
Curated, not crowded
Exhibitor tables are limited by design. You are one of a small group of aligned partners — not competing with 80 others for attention.
Editorially independent
CMT and CMF are funded by sponsors but never shaped by them. That independence is what brings the physicians here.
Decision-maker access
Attendees are physician-founders and practice owners who hold purchasing authority for clinical and operational tools.

Concierge Medicine Today and the Concierge Medicine Forum exist to be a place of insight, encouragement, and connection — a hub where learning moves FORward together.

THE AUDIENCE
Who attends CMF — and what they're there to decide
Physician-founders and practice owners
The majority of CMF attendees actively operate or are building a membership practice. They hold the purchasing authority for clinical, operational, and technology tools.
Practice administrators and operators
Care coordinators and office leaders who influence purchasing decisions across technology, staffing, and patient experience.
Physicians evaluating a model transition
A significant portion are primary care and internal medicine physicians researching whether to transition from traditional to membership-based care — early in the buying journey and highly receptive.
Not a general medical audience
CMF draws from a self-selected community. Every attendee made a specific decision to be here. That intention shapes every conversation you will have.
CMF is not a traditional trade show.

The Concierge Medicine Forum (CMF) is the annual leadership and medical education conference hosted and produced by Concierge Medicine Today, the industry’s long-standing trade publication serving concierge and membership-based healthcare.
CMF convenes physicians, practice leaders, care teams, and aligned organizations who are building, operating, or evaluating membership and subscription-based models of care.
This is not a volume-driven event. It is a focused, physician-centered gathering designed to explore the business, leadership, operations, and long-term sustainability of concierge and membership medicine.
CMF creates space for thoughtful conversations about:
Practice design and operations
Sustainable growth
Team culture and leadership
Patient experience
Regulatory awareness
Strategic partnerships
The future of relationship-driven healthcare
Each year, CMF brings together respected voices from across the field — including physicians, operators, legal experts, strategists, and healthcare innovators — to engage in practical, real-world dialogue that translates beyond inspiration and into implementation.
