LAS VEGAS – Sponsored by The VGM Group, and produced in cooperation with the Capital Healthcare Group, the Power Lunch offers Medtrade Spring attendees the opportunity to fuel up on lunch and information. This year’s format offers a chance to pick one topic and stick with that topic through the entire 90 minutes.
Simply grab one of the included boxed lunches and head to your pre-chosen topic table where the moderator will kick-off the roundtable group discussion. Learn from experts, hear from peers, and take back solutions to the office. Space is limited, but there are still spots available. Tickets are available through registration.
“This is not your father’s HME industry,” says Jim Greatorex, a Power Lunch facilitator. “Evolution is happening, and there are still some great opportunities. If you are willing to put away preconceived notions and explore educational opportunities, you can learn about viable ways to expand your business and capitalize on new concepts and markets. It’s imperative to get out of your comfort zone, network at Medtrade Spring, and make the trip to Las Vegas.”
