Expo Hall & Residency Fair
How do I talk with exhibitors? Go to the Expo Hall and select the exhibitor you want to learn about. You can also use the search tool (located at the top of every page) and input the exhibitor name, or browse exhibitors by floor. Main conference exhibitors are located on the “Resource Center” floor of the Expo Hall. Healthcare Recruiters are located on the “Career Corner” floor of the Expo Hall.
Once viewing an exhibitor’s booth on the webpage, you can engage in conversation with a booth representative by using the Chat button or click on Leave a Business Card so that exhibitors may follow up with you.
The fair is open any time during the FM Midwest Virtual Conference November 13-14 for students and conference attendees to enter and view the booths, review their materials and websites, leave messages etc. It’s up to each exhibitor to decide how much they can devote a person to “watching” the booth to reply to chats or say hello. The Expo Hall is divided by floors and Residency Programs are grouped by state. The Residency Fair hours on Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon have no other events going on at that time where exhibits will be staffed to answer questions, accept direct video chats or hold “live zooms and breakouts” with attendees. Each program will have their preferred method of live conversations posted in their booth. We hope this makes it easier for you to schedule your time and attend live or recorded sessions that you would enjoy at a live conference. The exhibit booths will remain accessible for 30 days to all conference registrants. Therefore, you may continue to research programs all month long. You can also still leave your business card up until December 13. All business cards will be sent to the booth contact to follow up with you.
