Medtrade West Preview

Medtrade West 2001, March 26 - 28, will provide an opportunity for buyers and exhibitors to build on the momentum of the successful Medtrade Conference and Expo held last October. With the growing industry and market, Medtrade West has expanded so much that VNU Expositions -- the producers of the show -- has moved the location from Bally's to the Las Vegas Hilton.

The show is designed for home medical equipment dealers, manufacturers and distributors, sales representatives and anyone interested in the home health care industry. There will be seminars and conferences to inform attendees of new and innovative trends as well as the AAHomecare's legislative vision for 2001.

This year, show hours have been extended to allow more time on the floor to view the hundreds of products that will be introduced by the various manufacturers in the industry. Some of the products featured at the show include respiratory equipment; medical and surgical equipment; aids to daily living; wound and skin care; orthotics and more. Distributors and manufacturers also will be able to see marketing and retail merchandising products in action.
