This format provides a unique opportunity for all parties to effectively and efficiently use their time and resources. The exhibiting healthcare executives are actively seeking ways to improve their supply chain network through their participating in the Reverse Expo. Suppliers have unlimited access to each exhibitor during the open hours of the Reverse Expo which afford you the most cost-effective manner of visiting these systems.

Exhibitor / Supplier Information:

The IDN Summit's Reverse Expo format allow these suppliers an opportunity to meet senior healthcare purchasing executives who host GPOs, suppliers and distributors in their own expo booth, instead of the usual tradeshow format where the supplier has to wait for the healthcare executive to walk past their booth in order to grab their attention.
