FAQ
What about IQL?
Based on member feedback, AMGA sunset the Innovation, Quality, & Leadership Conference (IQL) and replaced it with more focused opportunities including the Fall Council Summit. By doing so, AMGA is able to provide more time for peer-to-peer networking and interaction for Council members to further expand their relationships and share solutions.
Can I switch between Councils?
Due to room capacity planning and the nature of the discussions, we kindly ask that you attend the Council meeting for which you register and best aligns with your role/responsibilities.
Will corporate partners be in the meeting rooms?
The joint Council sessions (keynotes, meals, and receptions) will feature corporate partners in addition to Council member. The individual Council breakouts, however, are limited to medical group Council members only. No corporate partners are allowed to participate, join, or sit-in.
Is there a virtual option?
Due to the nature of the discussions, this meeting doesn't translate well into a virtual environment. As such, this meeting will be face-to-face to faciliate the networking and relationship building.
