The California Association of Medical Product Suppliers (CAMPS) will combine its annual meeting with Medtrade Spring, scheduled for March 30-April 1, 2015.
“This co-location agreement saves CAMPS members time and money by allowing them to go to one trade show instead of two in 2015,” said Kevin Gaffney, group show director, Medtrade. “CAMPS members will have full access to the Medtrade Spring show floor and all educational sessions, and we will have the privilege of welcoming CAMPS members to what will be an excellent show at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.”
Theagreement is similar to an agreement from a decade ago, according to Bob Achermann, executive director of Sacramento-based CAMPS. With so much specialization among providers these days, Achermann said it was time to revisit such an arrangement.
“We needed to look at ways to be more efficient for our members in providing a greater array of topics and speakers,” he explained. “By combining with Medtrade Spring, we can provide some California-specific topics and speakers, but also be attractive for providers, because there is such a wide variety of speakers at Medtrade Spring in other aspects of the business. A membership update meeting will be part of the content, and a small reception for California attendees is also likely.”
Currently, Medtrade is gearing up for its fall show, slated for Oct 20 to 23 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. More information is available at www.medtrade.com.
