Event Overview:

The Spring IDN Summit learning opportunities offer several types of continuing education credits such as CMRP, ISM, HIMSS, ACPE, ANCC and ACHE. The IDN Summit offers four tracks of breakout sessions, captivating General Sessions, and interactive roundtable discussions we call Idea Exchanges which provided attendees with an open environment to discuss issues impacting the challenging environment of healthcare.

What is the Reverse Expo?

The IDN Summit provides unrivaled cost cutting opportunities for attending suppliers and GPOs by saving time and travel expenses associated with cultivating partnerships by traveling to individual systems. Unlike a traditional trade show, the IDN Summit features healthcare purchase-decision makers staffing booths hosting their GPO and supplier counterparts, providing a unique opportunity for all parties to effectively and efficiently use their time and resources. IDN senior purchasing executives save valuable time and resources normally associated with sourcing new vendors by networking with suppliers in the neutral, open environment of the IDN Summit.

The IDN Summit and Reverse Expo allows attendees to make more efficient use of corporate travel and training resources by providing multiple opportunities for networking and meetings with leading health systems all in one place.

Exhibitor / Supplier Information:

The IDN Summit's Reverse Expo format allow these suppliers an opportunity to meet senior healthcare purchasing executives who host GPOs, suppliers and distributors in their own expo booth, instead of the usual tradeshow format where the supplier has to wait for the healthcare executive to walk past their booth in order to grab their attention. This format allows suppliers to enjoy a much more efficient and open experience meeting with their healthcare purchasing partners and avoided the usual costs associated with traveling to all of these systems individually.
