Join us on March 4-7, 2027 at the Marriott Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile
Our annual conference draws over 1,000 attendees from 41 U.S. states and Canada—a diverse and influential audience in the podiatric community. You’ll connect with:
DPMs, Fellows, and Residents
Advanced Practice Providers and Assistants
Practice Managers and Office Managers
These attendees represent a broad spectrum of specialties, including surgery, sports medicine, diabetic foot care, geriatrics, arthritis, orthopedics, pediatrics, biomechanics, wound care, and general podiatric care. Many are key purchasing decision-makers, making this an unparalleled opportunity to showcase your products and services.
Please be aware that The Midwest does not sell or distribute attendee lists to any third-party vendor. If you have been approached by a third-party vendor to purchase The Midwest attendee list, it is a scam. If you receive correspondence from any individuals claiming to be selling an attendee list, please report them to meetings@themidwestfac.org. We will take the appropriate action and suggest you do not respond or engage with these vendors.
Whether your goal is to build new connections or strengthen relationships with existing clients, The Midwest is a must-attend event for reaching the podiatric community. Sponsorship ensures your brand is front and center before or during the conference—maximizing visibility to the audience.
