NYSPMA Clinical Conference Breaks Attendance Record

For as long as anyone can remember, the New York Clinical Conference, the largest state meeting in the country, has been a “must attend” meeting for both podiatrists and exhibitors. Attendance at this year's conference exceeded even last year's levels. The educational programs were extraordinarily well received, with packed lecture halls at all times during the three days. Podiatrists participated from 31 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, Canada, and even as far away as Hawaii. The 250 exhibitor booths in the trade show were just slightly under last year's record level; a remarkable achievement in the current economy. The Golden Ticket social event on Saturday evening was a bash worthy of its Times Square location.

This undertaking could not have been accomplished without the dedication and hard work of Dr. Edward Buro and his Foundation Board, Dr. Joseph Sciandra and his Scientific Committee, and NYSPMA Executive Director Len Thaler and his staff.
