MedAssets Healthcare Business Summit

Summit in Review

The MedAssets Healthcare Business Summit, held at the Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas, NV, March 24-27, 2008 brought together IDNs, hospitals, surgery centers, long term care centers and other non-acute providers into one event, and gave our supplier partners an opportunity to showcase their products and services directly to MedAssets’ customers. With over 3000 healthcare professionals in attendance and over 40 educational sessions within the Performance Forum, and based on attendee feedback, the conference was a huge success.
