ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Medical device companies face unique challenges when training and educating physicians and healthcare professionals on their products. Clinical trainers and educators take on the difficult role of educating end-users on specific scientific, clinical, technical and procedural information surrounding a medical device technology. This conference will explore forward thinking methodologies for your clinical training and education platform. Leading companies throughout the medtech industry will highlight their best practices in maximizing effective product training for their customer.

In summary, this conference will provide attendees with the opportunity to openly discuss their challenges with fellow industry colleagues in relation to the training and education of healthcare professionals on clinical and procedural knowledge of medical device products. The many networking opportunities provided throughout the two-day meeting will allow for an ideal setting and exchange of information and best practices. Participants will be nearly all from industry, allowing a free exchange of information and best practices and an ideal opportunity for networking and sponsor companies that wish to enhance their market visibility. As the only consultative or solution providing attendees will be those sponsoring the program, the return on investment for this, as with all Q1 programs will be high.
