See You at the Show
Only two weeks remain until Medtrade convenes Oct 23-25, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Medtrade is the Fall edition of the nation’s premiere HME trade show. With discount pricing, providers can still save money over day-of-show rates. It’s a wise investment, because the inspiration and product ideas from Medtrade can lead to success.
Attendees asked for more “town hall” like sessions, fewer “lecture style” presentations, and more panel discussions (including competitors in some cases!). Organizers introduced the new format at Medtrade Spring 2017, and surveys came back overwhelmingly positive.
The Medtrade 2017 program will incorporate these changes and also have some sessions with a new seating arrangement to encourage more interaction and discussion among attendees. Conference sessions are open to attendees with a conference pass (not expo), unless the session is indicated as open to all.
Like last year, workshops and educational sessions will take place on Monday (Oct 23), with additional sessions on Tuesday (Oct 24) and Wednesday (Oct 25). Show floor hours will be 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday (Oct 24) and Wednesday (Oct 25).
Workshop Add-Ons Still Available
ATLANTA – Similar to last year, workshops and educational sessions will take place on day one of Medtrade (Monday, Oct 23). Opening day is an excellent opportunity to experience multi-hour, in-depth learning—or shorter educational sessions.
Workshops may be added to an expo pass or a conference pass, and additional registration is required. Fees vary per workshop. The following multi-hour workshops will be offered:
- An Introduction to the Certified Durable Medical Equipment Specialist (CDME)
- VGM’s Breaking Bad 2017 Reimbursement Seminar
- HME Master Sales Training
- Brightree Summit (register directly with Brightree at www.brightree.com/summit, not a Medtrade event)
