The Hidden Revenue Leak in Your Cash-Pay Weight and Wellness Program: If your focus is on saving $20 per vial, you’re missing the plot! • DrWell
Most practices think they understand their medication margins — but very few truly measure them. This session exposes the hidden fragility inside recurring medication revenue. We break down the “$20 vial myth,” uncover the real cost of staff dependency, and reveal how payment leakage and refill drop-off quietly erode profitability. You’ll learn why true COGS extends beyond ingredient cost, how predictability creates durable margin, and why infrastructure — not just a portal — determines whether your program scales or stalls. This is not a sales pitch. It’s a margin clarity conversation.

Fire Your Marketing Agency: How AI Is Doing It Better for Less • Mega
The way patients find aesthetic providers is changing fast. They're not just Googling anymore, they're asking ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools who to book with, and the practices showing up in those answers are the ones winning new patients. If your agency hasn't kept pace, you're losing visibility you can't even see.
This session shows how aesthetic practices are using AI to grow and run leaner at the same time: managing SEO, paid ads, and their website automatically, so patients can find you as search changes. You'll also see how AI turns that visibility into booked appointments through smarter patient engagement and lead capture. Walk away knowing where search is headed and how to keep your calendar full, without the agency markup.
