LAS VEGAS — Nielsen Expositions, owner and producer of
Medtrade
Spring, has announced a new “Lunch and Learn” roundtable event.
To be held on Tuesday, April 12, from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. the
educational and networking session will offer attendees an
opportunity to meet with leading industry experts and their peers
to discuss current issues facing the home medical equipment
industry.

Medtrade Spring will take place April 12 — 14 at the Sands
Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.

The roundtable discussions will focus on six topics moderated by
experts in that specific area of home care. The event, sponsored by
QS/1 and The VGM Group, will be facilitated by HME consultant Mary
Ellen Conway, president of Capitol Healthcare Group, Bethesda,

The discussions offer an opportunity for attendees to share
their successes, voice their concerns, ask questions and learn best
practices from their peers.

“The Educational Advisory Board is continually striving to offer
new and dynamic opportunities for attendees,” said Conway. “In
these interactive sessions, providers will have the opportunity to
meet with those who share their interests and concerns in an
informal environment that will lend itself to great
discussions.”

The event, which is limited to the first 150 registrants, costs
