1️⃣ Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

This meeting is primarily an education-and-academia focused convening within OB/GYN. It is not only a scientific conference; it is also a faculty/education ecosystem where the attendees are the individuals and organizations responsible for teaching, training, evaluation, and workforce development in obstetrics and gynecology.

The best buyer-fit attendees are typically not “industry procurement” staff. Instead, they are people with authority over educational programming, curriculum resources, assessment practices, simulation and skills training initiatives, and institutional medical education strategy.

Main attendee groups (buyer-style roles included):

• Program leadership: OB/GYN residency program directors, associate program directors, GME (Graduate Medical Education) leaders, education administrators.
• Faculty educators: faculty members serving as clerkship directors, curriculum leaders, faculty development leads, course directors, clerkship coordinators.
• Assessment & evaluation stakeholders: directors responsible for competency-based education, evaluation committees, assessment tool implementation, and remediation oversight.
• Clinical education & training development: simulation education leaders, skills lab coordinators, workshop/conference session planners who adopt training methodologies.
• Graduate medical education and academic health system decision-makers: institutional medical education office staff, academic department administrators, educational program managers.
• Professional development & conference participation: physician educators seeking updates on teaching methods, curriculum design, learning assessment, DEI initiatives in teaching, and training best practices.
• Industry/partner stakeholders (depending on exhibitor participation): medical education technology companies, clinical decision support and documentation tools with an education angle, simulation training providers, and publishers of medical education resources.

Practical implication for targeting: The attendee-to-buyer conversion is usually strongest when the outreach message is framed around improving educational outcomes, strengthening residency training quality, standardizing assessment, and supporting faculty development.

2️⃣ Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

The CREOG & APGO Annual Meeting is hosted in the United States. Because academic communities are nationally distributed, the meeting usually attracts attendees from across the U.S. academic medical system network.

Where it happens:

• Venue: Typically an academic conference venue within a major U.S. metro area (final city/venue depends on the specific meeting year).

Attendee geographic origin:

• Primary origin: United States, dominated by academic departments and residency programs across multiple regions.
• Strong national representation: Northeast, Midwest, South, and West faculty/program leaders commonly attend due to the national role of OB/GYN education standards and the shared interest in residency training improvement.
• International element: Usually limited compared to global medical specialty congresses, but international faculty may attend if they are connected to education research, fellowship networks, or international medical education collaborations.

Best geographic targeting (recommended): United States nationwide with additional emphasis on major academic medical centers that have: (1) established OB/GYN residency programs, (2) active medical education units, and (3) measurable education innovations (simulation, competency-based evaluation, structured curricula, faculty development programs).

3️⃣ Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

The CREOG & APGO Annual Meeting has a primarily national reach. The audience is concentrated in the U.S. academic medicine community (OB/GYN educators and residency leadership).

• Local reach: Limited—local attendees exist, but they are typically a smaller subset.
• National reach: Strong—program directors, educators, and education administrators attend from across the U.S.
• Global reach: Moderate to low—there may be some international presence, but the core audience is U.S.-based education and training governance.

Buyer interpretation: Because of the national nature, organizations behind curriculum resources, faculty development tooling, assessment and evaluation frameworks, and education analytics tend to benefit from consistent national targeting rather than purely local targeting.
