Excitement for the Atlanta show grows as summer approaches.

ATLANTA (May 9, 2017)—New exhibitors are joining familiar names as exhibitors sign on to Medtrade, scheduled for Oct. 23–26, 2017, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. “Attendees want new products on the show floor,” said Kevin Gaffney, group show director, Medtrade. “We are attracting those companies—small, medium and large—and there are more to come.”

Exhibitors recently signed up include: Softies CareWear; JST Concepts; Suzhou Sweetrich Vehicle Industry Technology Co; and Web Talent Marketing.

Minnesota-based Softies CareWear has been producing customizable patient garments for hospital systems on a referral basis. “We view Medtrade as an new opportunity to bring our apparel expertise, patented fabrics and innovative designs direct to the medical industry and their patients,” said Tim Murphy, president, Softies CareWear (softiespjs.com). “I am most excited to be exhibiting a very innovative, and very well received, mammography gown. It’s rare that patients, providers and even laundry services are all happy.”

Manufacturer Suzhou Sweetrich Vehicle Industry Technology Co. (sweetrich.cn) is making its debut at Medtrade to introduce its mobility scooter line to an American audience. Based in Jiangsu, China, and Queens, New York, the first time exhibitor also produces power wheelchairs and walking aids. “We have highly competitive products,” said Ryan Chen, vice president, Suzhou Sweetrich Vehicle Industry Technology Co. “Buyers will be interested.”

Jeffrey Turitz, president of JST Concepts, Midland Park, New Jersey (jstconcepts.com) decided to exhibit at Medtrade to help providers attain more accurate documentation of ambulation distance and functional progress, which can reduce claim denials. “Our product addresses this by simply attaching to any standard rolling walker to provide the accuracy required for documentation purposes as well as continuity of care,” says Turitz. “It is also motivational for clients since they can monitor their ambulation distance and progress during treatment. Come by and see ACCUTRAX at Medtrade.”

Matt Self, vice president, Web Talent Marketing, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, previously spoke at Medtrade and was able to help many companies improve their sales/lead generation through digital marketing efforts. They are looking to do more of the same in 2017 to help companies succeed with organic marketing (online PR, SEO), paid marketing (Adwords, Amazon, Social Media, etc.), and design/development services. “We are always wiling to provide free consultations that will lead to increased ROI,” says Self (webtalentmarketing.com). “We’d love the opportunity to add value to your business.”
