"The keynote speaker was truly “magic”. His message on leadership was spot on and the magic tricks were awesome." (quote from an attendee at the WI HFMA fall conference)

​2017 WI Chapter HFMA Fall Conference in Madison:
The HFMA WI Chapter Fall Conference was a resounding success.  From a beautiful location right on the square with the Capitol as a backdrop, there were various great topics and speakers throughout.  The conference opened with a nice networking event at Brocach’s Irish Pub Wednesday night where conference attendees could network with other attendees as well as members that took advantage of the event which was open to all HFMA members.  Speaking events on Thursday were led off by keynote speaker Billy Riggs who packed in a lot of information into a very entertaining exhibition on what it takes to be a true leader.  Four time slots of breakout sessions followed which were broken up by an easy-paced lunch in the Top of the Park ballroom which overlooks the Capitol and downtown skyline from the eighth floor of the elegant Premier Park Hotel.  Excellent content was bursting at the seams throughout all of the breakout sessions, and an hour-long tour of the Epic campus in Verona helped wrap up the education portion of the day.  Cocktail hour was another great time for fellowship followed by dinner and the evening entertainment, Billy Riggs, who this time focused on how we can keep a PMA (Positively Magical Attitude).  It was an event that would have made even the most serious members slop their drippers.
 
Friday morning’s events got started right with a very successful coffee hour for the Mentor/Mentee program followed immediately by a delicious buffet style breakfast.  Two very interesting general sessions on Anti-Kickback statutes and Succession Planning, respectively, helped close out the conference…everything a healthcare financial professional needs to be successful; well, maybe not everything, but great and informative topics nonetheless.  Visa Gift Card door prizes and a smiling chapter president sent attendees on their way in style.  Thanks to all for attending and making the conference one of the best yet, and thanks to all of our sponsors who make events like the Fall Conference possible.
