About the Conference

PRESENT e-Learning Systems ran the Superbones Superwounds East 2020 Conference successfully live as a bold experiment in how a live CME conference can take place safely under pandemic conditions, as a limited size, safe format meeting. The format and execution were limited by the safety requirements set by the governor of the State of New Jersey and standards for control of infectious disease. The meeting ran flawlessly and served the needs of 85 attendees, 16 faculty and 8 exhibitors. It was not a substitute for the kind of live CME conferences that we all know and love. We do not believe such large-scale public events will be possible again until we have effective vaccines and a critical mass of the population gains immunity from them. But we were able to run this meeting successfully using proper safe meeting precautions. Exit surveys show the attendees felt safe at the event and most would return to such an event under COVID conditions.
