“As co-directors, we have had the wonderful pleasure and honor of having Jennifer Agri and her team manage a large complex CME course for us for the past 7 years. Our course is Principles of Prevention in Primary Care Practice, on behalf of Harvard Medical School. It is no exaggeration to state that we simply could not do this course without Jennifer Agri and her team. While we know what we want to teach and have recruited a talented group of faculty, running a CME course goes well outside our own expertise. Jennifer is a consummate professional. Extraordinary fund of knowledge, very creative. She always thinks two steps ahead of us. Exceptionally well organized. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of moving pieces to consider when running a large course. Jennifer Agri keeps us on track, and effectively corresponds with and arranges all details with our faculty. Jennifer has used her skills and local connections to help us negotiate very favorable hotel contracts with high end hotels in Boston.
Agri Meetings plans all logistics, travel, hotel contracting, food and beverage, on site vendors, marketing, brochure publication, and our online course website. Jennifer has collaborators in AV services for the actual meeting, web design, publishing of course brochures, and most importantly, marketing. A large course succeeds only with a large pool of enthusiastic attendees. Jennifer draws upon expertise and knowledge to guide us through marketing, target high yield mailing lists, and manage a marketing budget. As a result, our course has remained successful. Jennifer Agri subcontracts with all of the needed experts so that we don’t have to seek and recruit other staff on our own. In our nearly 20 years of experience teaching in and directing CME courses, we have never found a colleague more professional and attentive than Jennifer Agri. And it is such a pleasure to work with Jennifer who has boundless energy and enthusiasm. We are certain that other interested course planners would have the same experience.”

Smetana, MD, MACP and Howard Libman, MD, FACP • Division of General Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center “Jennifer Agri and her team have been the meeting planners for a number of courses held under the aegis of the Department of Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a major teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. The Agri Meetings staff has been exemplary – conducting their duties with meticulous attention to detail, with the most pleasant demeanor, with keen enthusiasm and the utmost professionalism. We highly recommend them with great enthusiasm.”
Sanjiv Chopra, MD, MACP and Martin J. Abrahamson, MD, FACP • Co-Directors, Division of Continuing Medical Education, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center “Agri Meetings was absolutely critical in making our CME course a success. Jennifer Agri and her team made sure that our meeting was thoughtfully planned and meticulously executed, and they supported us during the planning and implementation of our course. Their experience and attention to detail was critical to our success, and their collaborative approach made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Agri Meetings exceeded our high expectations, and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
Peter Clardy, MD and Jeremy B. Richards • Former Course Directors, Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center “Being located in Germany, it wasn’t easy for our company to find a meeting planner for our first conference overseas. With Jennifer Agri, we found the right person for our US market entry. Despite the larger time difference she was always available for us, working fast and very accurately. One year later when we again held a conference in Boston, we did not hesitate a second to work together with Agri Meetings, LLC again. Her team’s valuable input concerning locations, websites and customer registration lifted our conference to another level.”
Gabriele Struhoff-Mueller • Conference Manager, OTTI e.V (Regensburg, Germany) “We couldn’t have been happier with our decision to use Agri Meetings for our workshop. During the planning process Ms. Agri helped keep us organized and on track, and expertly negotiated hotel and vendor contracts. She was crucial in helping us troubleshoot myriad issues and coordinate travel and accommodations for international speakers.. She helped us think creatively to work within our meeting budget. On site, Ms. Agri and her team went above and beyond to make sure the meeting went seamlessly and to ensure that all meeting participants were taken care of. We would highly recommend the Agri Meetings team and would use them again without hesitation.”

Our faculty has frequently expressed their appreciation in this regard.”
