Our educational modules are detailed, testing, and simply hard work. We think rightly so to provide a sense of achievement when our Compliance Champions pass the final exam and re-assessment tests. To mark this, we have created their own stamp which they can proudly use to mark the fact they are Compliance Champions.
Healthcare-Venues.com is pleased to welcome in 2016 with news of a strategic partnership with the MCI Group
This partnership will find HCV.com providing all training for regulatory codes for meetings & events to MCI Global, Regional and Local teams, via its Healthcare Events Portal training tool, whilst MCI will incorporate all HCV.com venues into their priority venue programme for healthcare sector meetings.
This will mean that venues who are part of our solution will be at the top of the sourcing list for RFPs for MCI’s healthcare sector clients. In addition, our team will have direct access to MCI teams to promote our venues. This partnership supports our growth as an international solution with our first overseas venues likely to come on line in Q1, 2016.
Cerstin Steindorf, Director of Healthcare at MCI said “the healthcare sector is increasingly complex and codes are changing the very way that we work. It is essential to MCI and our clients that we stay ahead of these changes, educate our teams, and work with likeminded people in the supply chain community passionate to improve how we collectively deliver code compliant meetings to our clients. This partnership is integral to that aim.”
Mark Handforth of HCV.com Feels “MCI have been fantastic in embracing and supporting what we are trying to do, educating the M&E community on the specific impacts of sector regulatory codes and providing tools, in this case our venue assessment reports, to make appropriate to code venue selection easier. Our Venue Healthcare Champions go through extensive and on-going training to learn how to work effectively in the sector and this partnership will keep them on their toes as their clients, like MCI expect them to deliver on the training promise”.

We recently posted an opinion piece on LinkedIn, here we summarised some of the battle grounds, for want of a more accurate phrase, that we believe may change the face of meetings and events in the sector.
Compliance to Regulatory codes forms a part of this journey (but we would say that wouldn’t we J), what is becoming clear is that the provision of medical education, CME and CPD is likely to change. Is industry planning to take a more fundamental place in delivering this rather than simply funding hands off programmes?, on this matter and more please read here.

At 3Sixty, Betsy was more than an expert in meetings strategy—she was a beacon of kindness, professionalism, and fierce pride in the work she did. Her expertise in the healthcare sector and deep understanding of the US meetings matrix helped shape our success on an international scale. Betsy had over 30 years of experience in meeting and trade show management, hotel sales, and procurement, but her passion for advancing the industry went beyond any résumé. She was a pioneer, developing one of the earliest Strategic Meetings Management (SMM) programs for the world’s largest biotech company and creating venue compliance processes for the PhRMA guidelines.
Betsy was never content to simply follow; she led by example. She set up her own consultancy in 2007, sharing her wealth of knowledge through countless articles, presentations, and educational programs. Her influence reached across America, Europe, and Asia, where she championed the importance of meetings and, most importantly, the people behind them. Her unwavering enthusiasm and commitment touched everyone who had the privilege of working with her. Betsy brought not just expertise, but also warmth and generosity, creating lasting bonds with colleagues and clients alike.
This page will remain as a tribute to Betsy’s incredible character and her tireless work to advance the meetings industry. She may no longer be with us in person, but her spirit, her passion, and her extraordinary contributions will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Betsy.
