LAS VEGAS – If you’re in Las Vegas today for Medtrade Spring, limited space is still available for valuable networking events such as The HME Breakfast Club and The Audit Happy Hour.

The Audit “Happy” Hour, sponsored by ACU-Serve, is scheduled for today—Monday, March 30, from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm in South Pacific I, with speaker Jeffrey S. Baird, JD, chairman, Health Care Group, Brown & Fortunato PC. Audits may not be particularly happy, but figuring out how to navigate them can lighten the mood. Medtrade Spring is making it fun by giving you that opportunity, and a chance to meet with experts at a relaxed networking reception.

So grab a glass of wine, beer (audits do drive us to drink, right?!), or coca cola, and meet with audit experts. You may also wish to attend the Audit Power Panel & Roundtable from 2:45-4:15, also on Monday, take a break at 4:30, then move on to the Audit Happy Hour. Tickets are limited for this unique Q&A and networking opportunity. Go online and add to your existing registration, or purchase tickets in the Bayside B section of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

HME Breakfast Club
Sponsored by Laboratory Tactical Consulting, Strategic A/R and Wheel:Life, the HME Breakfast Club, scheduled for Wednesday, April 1, from 8:30 am – 10:00 am., is a great way to start your day, get inspired, eat some food, and meet other like-minded HME professionals.

A ticket includes breakfast, time to chat with peers, and Pamela Kaehler (pictured), executive director of Fairmont Home Medical, will give a keynote speech. As an HME veteran, mother, and a wife, Kaehler is familiar with the juggling act of modern life, and she is eager to share her wisdom. Go online and add to your existing registration, or purchase tickets in the Bayside B section of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
