Showcare Event Solutions Signs 3-Year Contract Extensions with MDS and AGS

Feb. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Showcare Event Solutions Inc., a leading event data solutions provider, is pleased to announce that it has recently signed 3-year contract extensions with two of its medical association clients, the Movement Disorder Society and
the American Geriatrics Society.

Showcare will be providing advance and onsite registration services for MDS’s 2013 International Congress in Sydney, Australia, as well as the 2014 and 2015 Congresses in Stockholm and San Diego, respectively.

“The decision we made in 2008 to bring on Showcare to handle our registration needs was a tremendous contributor to advancing our International Congress”, says Jenny Quebbeman, CMP, Director of Meetings. “We’ve been able to do so much that was previously out of our reach. But what I value most about our relationship with Showcare is how our teams have come together to work as one in an effort to reach our objectives for the Congress.”

In addition to advance and online registration services, Showcare will continue to provide RFID-enabled CME credit tracking, online CME session evaluation, CME certificate generation, and lead retrieval services for the AGS Annual Scientific Meetings of 2013, 2014, and 2015.

“We value the opportunity to continue assisting both AGS and MDS in the work that their associations are doing for their members and for the advancement of quality of life” says David Flood, VP of Business Development at Showcare. “The knowledge that we play a role in their important work is always present in our minds.”
