In addition to offering networking and education opportunities, conferences are also potential meeting places. With healthcare professionals’ and solutions providers’ busy schedules sometimes making appointments difficult to confirm, conferences can create an opportunity for you and your prospects to be at the same place at the same time – often in a more relaxed atmosphere than the usual day-to-day.
If you’re attending any of these conferences, consider sending out an email to prospects or clients in the area to let them know you’ll be in town. Successful meetings can result in even more conference attendance ROI for your MedTech products or services. So, where are you going in 2019? You can catch Carevoyance at HIMSS19 and the 10x Medical Device Conference, with more appearances to come!
