Recent Attendee Testimonials
“We just attended our second conference in Orlando
and are looking forward to the upcoming show in
Dallas. I was just contacted today by a materials
management executive from a premier health system
giving us the opportunity to do some business with
their system. We are very excited and grateful
for the platform to build these relationships.”
-Kirsten Maher - First Biomedical, Inc.
“Looking forward to September. As
always, "a first class event." Your dedication and
professionalism shows. Thanks again for a great
conference.”
-Julie Whelan, Meridian
Health
There is always good
provider/supplier interaction.-Tina Wenstrom,
Clarian Health Partners
“I have to say that this is the
most beneficial summit/conference I attend. I have only
been to two of them, but have benefited greatly as a
professional because of the discussions that take place
and the networking that is done.”
-Virginia Counts, Atlanticare
Regional Medical Center
“Third year attending the
conference--education sessions are very good and very
beneficial. Even the "reverse" vendor booth approach is
valuable to both sides. Keep up the good work!”
-Skip Wingo, Medstar Health
“Great event; I learned much and
networked with many peers. More importantly, I brought
back several ideas to improve my organization's supply
chain efficiency, effectiveness, and financial
performance.”
-Frank Cirillo, NYC Health &
Hospitals Corp.
“I enjoyed the panel discussions.
The one panel discussion, "What's your opinion" was some
what controversial, in a positive sense. It would have
been nice to have a rebuttal with the panelist. A
recommendation to explore, a presentation on Quality
Improvement i.e. six sigma, bladridge criteria, or other
process improvement may be interesting. A debate on a
relevant topic i.e. Utilizing GPO's for contracting vs.
Independent contracting. GPO exec's and IDN rep's on the
pro side and perhaps some mfg's that ship direct to IDN
and IDN exec's that self contract. It might be
interesting. Thanks again for a first class event.
-Mel Meck, Atlanticare
Regional Medical Center

and supplies in the reverse expo. The sessions were well
organized. Thank you for helping us all collaborate.”
-Vince Archuleta, Exempla

make some key contacts.”

“Team building afternoon was
exceptional. Great idea.”
-Kim Sandstrom, University of
Wisconsin Hospitals & Clinics
“Great place for a meeting of that
size. The hotel was easy to access, golf course was
beautiful to look at, and the food was great.”
-Ted Greer, Heritage
“Always very informative and good
networking.”
-Helen Kreit, Carroll
Hospital Center
“I was interested in the break out
session discussed during one of the panels. The question
was posed by David Hesson and it had to do with revenue
cycle and reimbursement relative to new technology. As a
large inner city hospital and the only trauma center in
the state, I struggle daily with issues relative to this
topic.”
-Clarissa Guglielmetti,
Lifespan
“Great facilities; Florida is a
great location for spring expo. Appreciated the 1/2 day
provider expo. Still saw many people, but we could
handle because of our additional resources. (3 instead
of 2) All interviewed suppliers and manufacturers
separately.”
-Bob Burton, ProMedica Health
System
“Hotel was excellent, although the
cost and time to travel from the airport were a little
inconvenient. Sessions were generally of a very high
standard and addressed important issues for our
industry.”
-Roger Severn, Vygon
Corporation
“I very much enjoyed this and look
forward to the Gaylord in Grapevine, Texas in
September.”
-Greg Moore, Megadyne Medical
Products
“I had a great time participating
in the on-field activities. Overall, the conference was
excellent as usual.”
-James McDonnell, Lifespan
