One of the more than 800 in attendance said healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals were treated to a “magical experience” at MD Expo Orlando.
MD Publishing, the parent company of TechNation magazine, once again delivered top-flight education sessions approved for 36 CEU credits by ACI. The conference provided expert speakers on the industry’s hot topics, a packed exhibit hall featuring the latest products and solutions that HTM professionals need to do their jobs better, an amazing keynote address, fantastic networking events and a fun-filled Boos & Brews Halloween Party. The YP and MD Expo was also a huge success with more young professionals at its networking event than at previous conferences. MD Expo Orlando was proudly supported by the Florida Biomedical Society (FBS).
MD Publishing President and Founder John Krieg was blown away by the positive comments attendees shared regarding everything from supporting the HTM community to the the educational lineup in Orlando.
“The atmosphere and buzz in Orlando was beyond exciting,” he said. “We could not be happier with the turnout! See you at MD Expo Las Vegas!”
MD Publishing Vice President Kristin Leavoy, CMP, reported 815 individuals attended the MD Expo with 119 booths in the exhibit hall.
“Since 2008, MD Expo has supported the Florida Biomedical Society by bringing the MD Expo to Florida and giving the FBS board a chance to enjoy an annual meeting without the pressures of having to plan the event,” Leavoy said. “It is a valued partnership and one we hope to continue for years to come.”
