Exhibit Hall Highlights

Share:

Exhibitors poured, attendees listened. The popular wine tasting event in the exhibit hall on the conference's first night gave surgical leaders the chance to sample different California vintages and the latest products and services showcased at each booth. As the wine flowed, exhibitors were able to connect with facility decisionmakers in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. A delicious lunch served the next afternoon kept the hall buzzing with activity and networking opportunities throughout the conference.
