The event is business casual. Phoenix temperatures are generally in the mid to upper 80s. Most events are indoors with the exception of golf and some evening receptions.
Why should I attend?
If you are a senior executive of a healthcare system you will get strategic information you can use now to impact your hospital system. You will hear case studies presented by your peers; panel discussions from various participants within the healthcare supply chain; presentations from industry experts on topics that are impacting you today; and the opportunity to network with your peers and supplier partners during special events and other times to develop important working relationships.
For GPO and supplier partners to IDNs and healthcare systems, you will get an unequaled opportunity to learn their challenges and how you can better partner with them to meet their goals. You will participate with senior executives of IDNs, healthcare systems, GPOs and other suppliers in conference sessions designed to foster peer learning with presentations and panel discussions from industry experts. You will participate in an intensive Sales and Marketing Education track that will provide you key insights into selling products and services to healthcare integrated delivery networks. As the originator of the reverse expo concept, the IDN Summit offers you the most efficient way to meet with over one hundred senior healthcare executives representing billions of dollars in healthcare expenditures - at one time and in one location.
I’m a first time attendee. What should I do?

What is a Reverse Expo?
Unlike a traditional trade show the IDN Summit featureshealthcare 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. The IDN Summit concept is fostered on building a strong network of trusted partnerships to improve healthcare integrated delivery networks. These collaborative partnerships play an integral role in assisting healthcare systems to deliver quality patient care while achieving bottom-line financial improvements. In addition, the IDN Summits offers great cost cutting opportunities for attending suppliers and GPOs by saving time and travel expenses associated with cultivating partnership by traveling to individual systems.
What time can I enter the expo hall?

If you are interested in taking advantage of pre-entrance into the exhibit hall at 1:30 p.m., allowing you and your team an extra 30 minutes of valuable networking time with little to no lines, please contact Cathy Fosco or Josh Morita about sponsorship opportunities.
