LETTER FROM THE NAPT

The National Association for Proton Therapy is pleased to announce our 7th annual conference in Miami, Florida on March 24th – 27th at The Biltmore Miami | Coral Gables. We respectfully request your support of the national proton conference, NAPT 2019, to provide networking opportunities with our members and your companies. We anticipate over 300 attendees including physicians, nurses, therapists, financial counselors, proton center administrators, directors, mangers and marketing personnel.

In addition to an outstanding educational platform, please join your friends and colleagues for what will be an exceptional experience at the world-renowned luxury resort, The Biltmore. The National Historic Landmark property is known for its first-class amenities and world-class service. On property, guests can enjoy the European spa, golf course, or the largest hotel pool in the continental US. The location is convenient to Coral Gables and South Beach alike, areas that offer a plethora of options for great restaurants, shopping, theaters and nightlife.

We invite you to the view the Corporate Sponsor Prospectus. The NAPT 2019 Registration and housing website is open and I encourage you to check it periodically as more details emerge on the conference. A preliminary agenda will be available soon with topics including operations, marketing, pediatrics, and financial/insurance issues. A listing of all sponsoring companies will be included in the final program and on the conference website.

Survey Results Summary

Conference Organization and ProgramMost respondents agreed that the conference was well organized and communication around the conference was clear, at 97% and 94% respectively. The addition of breakout sessions was appreciated, and respondents encouraged more be added to the program next year for targeted programs.

• “Excellent content and well organized based on topics. I liked seeing multiple session options during a given time.”

• “Speakers were very good and audience wanted more from many of them. Showed how relevant the topics were.”

• “Sessions ran smoothly and all the details were well attended to.”

• “I greatly appreciate efforts made [by Registration] to accommodate me.”

• “Thanks for the “what you should know” email leading up to the conference.”

• “Looking forward to next year!”

Location and VenueMost respondents agreed that the city and venue chosen by NAPT were appropriate locations for the meeting, at 98% and 96% respectively. Feedback on the venue was positive. Most respondents appreciated that the venue was self–contained.

In response to requests at NPC 2017, this year’s break options were healthier (fruit, yogurt, pretzels, etc.) and cold drinks were added. In the survey and in person, this shift was appreciated by most.

In the comments, there was a general consensus that the resort–like atmosphere was appreciated and preferred:

• “Location was one of the best yet, venue encouraged people to stick around, mingle, and engage much more than the Orlando location. Being a bit isolated worked to the benefit of the conference.”

• “Liked being on a resort property and did not need to leave. It was also a casual feeling resort without a lot of extra charges. Really a good choice.”

• “Much healthier snacks than last year! Well done!”

• “[Food] was very good.”

OverviewThe NAPT 2018 survey was distributed to all attendees to gather feedback on the conference. The survey was made up of 10 questions: five open–ended and five where they were asked the degree to which they agreed with a series of statements (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). All questions included a comment box where they could elaborate on their answers.

Slightly less than half of respondents attended the conference for the first time this year.

97% of respondents would recommend NAPT to a colleague or professional in their field.
