PrimeFare East Regional Scientific Symposium
The PrimeFare East Symposium is widely known as one of the top O&P&P meetings in the country. It is a fully regional meeting, with an average of 125-160 attendees from as many as 27 states. The symposium provides four educational tracks for practitioners, and a full exhibit hall for manufacturers and business service companies to enjoy face time with owners and practitioner attendees. PrimeFare East is held every summer in one of the nations most entertaining cities: Nashville, Tennessee. PrimeFare East celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2018.
PrimeFare Central Regional Scientific Symposium
In 2011 PrimeCare was invited to manage the Oklahoma State Association Meeting, increasing its growth and attendance 400% by 2012. By 2015 the meeting had grown to encompass attendees from several states and exhibitors from all of the key manufacturers and suppliers. As a result we saw the need for a Central Symposium, which we now hold each year in Oklahoma. The meeting features three educational tracks for practitioners and owners in addition to the exhibit hall. We provide space and tools for the association to hold their meeting at PFC annually.

From 1998 through 2014, the Network facilitated more than 20 national contracts and more than a dozen regional ones, which comprised more than 100 million covered lives.

Since the inception of our first PrimeFare East Regional Scientific Symposium in 1998, with three educational tracks and 16 exhibitors, we have been committed to providing regional education to the P&O field that is second to none. Both of PrimeCare's symposia have grown exponentially since 1998, and continue to expand in both attendance and exhibitor support.
