"We've been working with 360 Live Media for about three years now, they've become an incredibly important strategic partner of ours. AFPM puts on 11 events a year. We knew it was time to freshen them up. We knew that 360 had the type of expertise and experience that we were looking for. We asked them to come in and do a deep dive review of all of our conferences and they've done just that. And with their input, we're confident that our events are becoming more relevant, more interesting, and drawing bigger crowds in. So all in all, we couldn't be more pleased than what we've gotten out of working with the whole team at 360 Live Media. They're going to be a strategic partner of ours for many years to come."

"ID Week is the premier infectious disease conference in the world. We've experienced record attendance at ID Week five of the last six years. So when we decided to engage 360 Live Media, it was at a time where we had the absolute greatest latitude to make changes for the organization. What's unique about ID Week, is that it is a partner meeting in that there are four organizations that provide leadership and guidance to the meeting. So when we engaged 360 Live Media to work with us, the additional challenge was working with not one but four organizations. 360 Live Media helped us break sound barriers that were holding the meeting back. I highly recommend you engage 360 Live Media. We feel the best time for organizations to engage 360 Live Media is when they're meeting has the latitude to make changes."
