MasterClass Program Questions
Where and when do MasterClass sessions take place?
MasterClass sessions are held in the Americas region in March and the EMEA region in May each year, adjacent to MAPS Annual Meetings to maximize value for traveling attendees. Visit stg-mapswordpress-mapswoocomm.kinsta.cloud/masterclass for the current schedule of upcoming sessions.
How large are MasterClass sessions, and who attends?
Sessions are intentionally kept small — typically 50 to 80 participants representing 20 to 30 different companies. This structure ensures a high-quality, peer-driven learning environment and meaningful cross-industry networking that is difficult to replicate in larger settings.
What does a typical MasterClass look like?
The MasterClass program is a learning journey that starts with a virtual foundational session ~1 month prior to the in-person meeting. The in-person meeting focuses on interactive workshops to enable practical real-world application when the participant returns to their job. Following the in-person meeting, the learning continues virtually through the MAPS Community Platform.
Can I send multiple team members to the same MasterClass session?
Yes. Multiple team members from the same organization are welcome to attend the same open-enrollment session.
If you are looking to train a larger group of colleagues and want a fully private experience with content tailored to your organization’s needs, MasterClass Onsite may be the more cost-effective and impactful option. Email Pete Piliero, Head of Medical Training & Development to discuss which option is best for your organization. email to discuss which format is the best fit.
Does MAPS membership affect the price of a MasterClass?
Yes. MAPS members receive discounted pricing on open-enrollment MasterClass sessions. If your organization participates in the Industry Partnership Program (IPP), team members receive MAPS membership as part of that partnership, which includes access to member pricing on MasterClass registrations. Visit stg-mapswordpress-mapswoocomm.kinsta.cloud/join-maps to learn more.
Are there early registration discounts available?
Yes. MAPS typically offers Super Early Bird and Early Bird registration rates for open-enrollment sessions held alongside Annual Meetings. These discounts are time-limited and applied at checkout. Check the individual event registration page for current pricing tiers and deadlines.
