The month drifts; confirm before booking.

The ROI test

healthcare runs on relationships and long cycles — HLTH pays to advance deals you're already in more than to spark cold ones. The month drifts; confirm before booking. That is the whole discipline: a conference is a spend against a quota like any other trip. Run it through the Conference ROI Planner — if the pipeline case doesn't clear the cost, the honest answer is to stay home and send one person, not the team.
