As many of you know, my company, Healthcare Business Media, took over the IDN Summit and Expo in the fall of 2008. It’s been an exciting ride during these past 18 months. Along with the normal issues associated with acquiring a business, we’ve had to navigate the crosswinds of a very difficult recession, and now face the uncertain terrain of healthcare reform in Washington in 2010 and beyond. read more
"We always recommend the IDN Summit meetings as a 'top show' for networking opportunities. The chance to work with such a large audience of high level decision-makers in one setting allows for a quick assimilation into the corporate account arena and provides strategic opportunities for any supplier. It is also a great occasion to stay close to the issues affecting healthcare delivery and a venue to be involved in improving them."

Partner, Healthcare Links
"There hasn’t been a more important time for CEOs to be engaged in the healthcare supply chain than now. Balancing the need to be technologically advanced with the need to maintain solid financial footing means that leaders have to examine their supply chain as an integral part of system strategy. What I want to accomplish at the IDN Summit, and beyond, is to get the right kind of dialogue going with the right people."
