As a first time attendee, I am interested in existing programs in other destinations and how I can best market the services we have available in the U.S. Virgin Islands. As the person in charge of all tourism marketing done on behalf of the Government of the Virgin Islands, I am truly coming to learn as much as possible about this segment, best practices and how I can work with providers in the USVI to increase our share of this revenue generating niche market. In discussion with local providers, your organization and this event came highly recommended. said Deputy Commissioner of Tourism. U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism and special invitee to the Ministerial Summit.

The Medical Director Summit will welcome medical directors from international hospitals and insurance companies to collaborate and network regarding the challenges in providing quality healthcare and insurance to local and international patients.

“My goal at the congress is to learn more about what services are available, how to fulfill the needs of our clients by getting them quality health care while maintaining some handle on the costs. I hope to network with other medical directors and get more understanding of this aspect of medicine. I also hope to network with some of the underwriters and insurance companies that are looking for case management.” Ferial Ladak M.D.Medical Director Global Excel Management
