If you attended the 2015 WHPRMS annual conference this year, you know it was a well worth the trip. With nearly 100 attendees—including vendors spanning Wisconsin, Minnesota, all the way to Florida. We were lucky this year to partner with the Minnesota Health Strategy & Communications Network (MHSCN). In addition, it’s was Oktoberfest! Everyone who took part in the conference, which focused on best practices from health care marketing experts, now have new friends, great business connections and fresh knowledge to bring back to their organization.

Over the course of the three-day event, conference-goers tweeted and posted their favorite highlights, photos and quotes. Attendees could view the online interaction in real-time.

To commemorate the social media buzz, I present our top tweets and posts of #WHPRMS2015.

 

#WHPRMS2015 is 2 days away. Looking forward to great presenters and meeting @MHSCN friends https://t.co/oWKWYAwNZt

The storyteller’s job is to form visual pictures with words. Make people FEEL your message. @theresarose #whprms2015
