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, Md.
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 $25 and includes a box lunch.
"We know that learning comes in many shapes and forms and peer-to-peer education is a proven means of deciphering and applying best practices in all aspects of an organization," said Kevin Gaffney, show director.
