SENIOR PRODUCTION TEAM ON EVERY PROGRAM | CEO PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN FINALIST REVIEW
FROM J.R. SPIESS, PRESIDENT AND CEO
It is hard to earn trust inside a major healthcare organization.
We know this better than most. The 180 Group has been producing healthcare meetings since 1997. We have been in the rooms where stakeholder trust makes or breaks a program. We have heard what happens when the production partner was not buttoned up, when change orders appear two weeks before show day, when a compliance review stalls because no one owned the approval calendar.
We are offering this challenge because we are confident enough in our team to bet on ourselves. Once you feel what stress-free and buttoned up actually looks like, we do not think you will want to go back.
This is not for everyone. It is a fit-based selection designed for brands running serious programs at serious stakes.

The winner receives the full 180 Group production experience for their qualifying program. We waive our management and production fees entirely, up to $100,000.

Even if you do not win, you leave with something useful.
Every applicant who meets the baseline qualifications receives a customized Event Spend Leak Audit and Risk Map delivered within 48 hours of review. This is not a template. It is built from your brief.
Event Spend Leak Audit
We identify the five to eight most likely cost drivers in your program, each with a specific fix and a next step you can act on immediately. Most people tell us this alone is worth the application.
Risk Map
We score the top six to ten delivery risks across your timeline, vendors, compliance path, and onsite execution. Every risk has a mitigation action that can start this week.
Estimated delivery: within 48 hours of application review. No pitch. No invoice.
This is a fit-based selection, not a random drawing.
