This year’s Children’s Hospitals Week FREE online experience is not a virtual version of our annual much-loved in-person event. It is so much more. Beginning April 19 at 9am EDT our choose-your-own-adventure Virtual Showcase will give registered attendees 24/7 access to hours and hours of inspirational and entertaining content. Immersive and interactive, you’ll have videos to watch, games to play, things to download, etc. With nearly 500 links to click on within the Virtual Showcase, and planned experiences like our Main Stage presentations and Meet the Champions, there’s no way you will be able to engage with everything in a single visit. So, plan to attend every day. Register Now!
CMN Hospitals will host a 45-minute Main Stage session from the Virtual Showcase each day April 19-23, at 12pm EDT, to recognize our top partners and programs and to demonstrate the impact they’re having in communities throughout our network. Come ready to celebrate as:
- We present five Network Partner of the Year awards, the CMN Hospitals Impact Award, and the Victoria Enmon Award
- CMN Hospitals President & CEO Teri Nestel presents the State of the Network and recognizes top small, medium, large market and Canadian hospitals/foundations in: Total Fundraising, Per Capita, and Percentage Increase categories
- Marketing expert Andrew Davis delivers his keynote address on Embracing the Constraints: Why Adding Constraints Sparks Innovation, Action, and Builds Business
You won’t want to miss any of it. Enter the Virtual Showcase early each day to explore content pre-Main Stage sessions and plan to stay after. In fact, we’d love for you to plan to join us for at least three hours a day – an hour before the 45-min Main Stage presentation and an hour after. Although, we think after you experience the Virtual Showcase for the first time – you’ll want to take more time to experience more of it. Some partners and programs will be communicating and interacting directly with attendees from their own booths during business hours. We plan to announce those live chats and sessions in our Daily Communication with attendees. Watch for more information from us about how to access the Virtual Showcase, and how to participate.
