DALLAS—Medtrade attendees looking for technology solutions now have a new option on the Medtrade 2024 Expo floor. The Technology Stage (back right of the show floor) will feature 30-minute interactive presentations to provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of various tech solutions. Tech-related exhibitors will provide live, half-hour presentations designed to inform and educate.
“These presentations are outside of the educational session tracks,” said Chris Kinard, chief operations officer, Valere Health. “I worked with Kerry Tyler [associate show director] and her team and they were able to carve out space on the Expo floor. It’s an actual stage with seating for about 50 people. We went through the list of exhibitors and extended invitations for technology vendors to come and participate.”
Topics include:
- Enterprise resource planning
- RCM—AR
- Patient collections
- Patient management—population health
- Sleep tech
- Prescribing
- Inventory management
- Document management
In addition to educating attendees, the goal is to drive traffic back to the exhibitor’s booth where additional conversations can take place.
“Any attendee is welcome to sit down and have a listen,” Kinard said. “Valere Health is sponsoring the event. For our part, we are bringing to the industry its first connectivity platform. It is designed to promote interoperability across technology platforms. We hope to bring technology companies together on the stage, give them a platform, and help to stimulate interest.”
Kinard will introduce each company prior to their presentation. Two exhibitors (listed below) have signed on for the Technology Stage so far, with more expected in the coming weeks. Exhibitors interested in securing one of the remaining time slots may contact Kerry Tyler at kerry.tyler@emeraldx.com.
- Atlas Technology (1:50 – 2:20 on Wednesday, March 27 – Technology Stage)
- HME360 (2:40 – 3:10 on Wednesday, March 27 – Technology Stage)
“The Technology Stage is very tech-centric,” Kinard said, “and that can be a product or a service. We are looking for innovative technology solutions for the industry and keeping our search to those companies. We’ll have signage that guides people to the exact location on the show floor, so stay tuned for additional information.”
