Every year, organizations come to IMSH and SimOps to showcase their products in front of thousands of simulation professionals and form meaningful relationships. Many are incredibly successful at both. Other, though, leave with a list of badge scans that never convert to anything.
There is a meaningful difference between studying for a certification exam alone and studying within a structured group of peers working toward the same goal at the same time. The difference is not just accountability — though that matters. It is the actual quality of the learning.
I hear a version of this every year: "I spend most of my time in sessions and only get to the exhibit hall for a few minutes." I understand how it happens. The IMSH education program is exceptional, and sessions compete for time aggressively.
IMSH Connections is a professional development program designed to help attendees make the most of their experience at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare.
