One-Day Workshops at MedTrade Spring Offer Specialty Topics

LAS VEGAS – For those who are hesitant about spending six hours in a classroom on Monday, March 30, at Medtrade Spring, Mike Sperduti has a simple message. “Don’t come,” says Sperduti, president of the Mike Sperduti Companies. “Because good is not good enough these days. But if you’re a person who understands that you have to be better than you were yesterday, then we want you at the workshop.”

Unlike previous Medtrade Springs, day one is packed with educational options, including three different workshops, and one fitter’s course, that run from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. It’s a special opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about topics that merit extra time.

The three workshops on tap are:
