The VIP Contributor Dinner
Friday evening is open on the main schedule, so nothing on the agenda overlaps with it. VIPs spend that window at a private dinner with the contributors who are speaking at the event, plus key partners on the guest list. Two hours, no stage, no presentation. It's the setting where the specifics come out: what a practice actually sold for, how the earnout was structured, what happened to the P&L in the year after dropping a payer.
Of everything in the VIP upgrade, a seat at this table is the hardest to arrange on your own. That's why it leads the list.
