The REVEAL Registry is a great thing. Underwritten by Actelion Pharmaceuticals, it is made up of physicians all over the country who enroll patients suffering from Pulmonary Hypertension, a little known but devastating medical condition. The patients’ care is tracked and the data consolidated and monitored via the registry in an effort to better understand the condition and the best treatment options. The study is completely objective.
A few times a year, we have the pleasure of producing the REVEAL registry meetings for Actelion Pharmaceuticals in the best venues and the coolest cities around the country.
This June in Seattle, we had a great meeting with the unsung heroes of the registry, the Study Coordinators. These are the nurses and assistants who do all the heavy lifting for the physicians in entering and tracking the patient data.
It was at this meeting that I ran into something I have never had happen in event production…. the hotel would not approve our outside security vendor without prior clearance to work in the hotel. Apparently, this compromised the hotels stringent security standards for their guests. This is something I’ve never encountered.
Needless to say, it indicated that we were working at a great property. The hotel was stellar throughout and the Study Coordinators had a first class event and some well-deserved recognition!
