LAS VEGAS – The middle day of Medtrade Spring 2020 featured a full day on the Expo floor, with exhibitors repeatedly touting an engaged group of attendees. Short on casual time wasters and high on serious interest, exhibitors consistently gained positive leads and steady interest.“In the morning from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., we could not handle the traffic in the booth. We had strong and meaningful conversations. Attendees are here looking for new items. They are not casual attendees. They are genuinely interested. We are having results-driven conversations with people who are interested in our brand new Trust Care line. — Jed Miles, national sales manager, Stander, Logan, Utah
“The first three hours at the show were really steady and good. I wish the show were two full days. A day and a half is too short. We had very positive conversations with new people who are wanting to carry our product. People are saying, ‘This makes sense.’” — David Talmage, materials manager, RemZzzs, Jackson, Michigan
“Medtrade Spring has been very good. I have a lot of customers in California who come to this show. Face-to-face interaction is always better.” — Randy Fly, Dalton Medical Corporation, Farmers Branch, Texas
“The traffic has been light, but it’s quality over quantity with good conversations. The people who are here want to be here and they have specific questions. We will be exhibiting in Phoenix and we will definitely be in Atlanta for Medtrade. We always do both. — Jim Gilkison, vice president of Sales, SoClean, Peterborough, New Hampshire
“The show has been good and actually exceeded our expectations. We came to meet with new and existing clients and we’ve done that. We’ve written orders right here at the show.” — Tom Traver, Orthozone Inc., Blaine, Minn.
“The morning at Medtrade Spring was really strong. Overall good quality attendees. No educational sessions in the morning helped and it was appreciated by the exhibitors. We had really strong new prospects.” — Gail Turner, HME sales consultant, TIMS Software developed by Computers Unlimited, Billings, Montana, and David Schaer, president
“The show has been really good. We’ve had great conversations and collected great leads for potential clients.” — Terry Ahern, western regional sales manager, Dynarex Corp
