MHAUS is non-profit. Our goal is to offer a very enjoyable and informational conference for everyone while keeping costs down.
Following is a list of things to be done by the volunteers helping arrange mini-conference in their area.
1. A conference room for at least 50-100 people, depending on the registration response. The seating is best if arranged in a classroom style with tables for attendees to use for notes, tea/coffee, etc. Also needed is a room large enough to handle a demonstration of mixing dantrolene and allow attendees to participate and actually mix and/or watch the mixing of the solution.
2. Catering for a light breakfast will need to be arranged. To date, it has been bagels, pastry, and coffee and tea. Lunch is also provided and a bagged or boxed lunch with drinks, dessert and or fruit has been the norm to date. The hospitals in the past have given us the best price for the food, but outside vendors can be considered if the price is comparable or less. Whoever caters must include all paper wear for the meals. It must be verified whether they will deliver, if there is a fee or must it be picked up?
3. Parking. A reduced rate or free parking for attendees and organizers should be negotiated, when possible.
4. Video-recording of the conference is important does the site permit this to be done? Is there a tech to assist the speakers if there would be a problem?
5. Does your hospital offer CEU's or CME's?
These are items which along with advertising at your hospitals and your area which we can talk about after contacting us.
