“The Hosted Buyer Forum provided an excellent opportunity to meet with more than 10 companies/vendors and learn about various health system solutions, innovative technologies and potential strategies that could benefit both my work and my institution. The format was particularly efficient, as it allowed healthcare leaders and institutional representatives to engage with multiple vendors through organized presentations and roundtable discussions, ask questions and explore solutions without the lengthy process of arranging individual meetings separately.”
Physician Scientist, Director of Quality, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sealy Heart and Vascular Institute, University of Texas Medical Branch
