Exhibitor information
What is the Reverse Expo? The ACE Reverse Expo provides substantial cost-cutting opportunities for attending suppliers, engineers, architects and construction company executives by saving time and travel expenses otherwise associated with building partnerships through travel to individual healthcare systems, hospitals and GPOs. Unlike a traditional expo, the ACE Reverse Expo will feature senior healthcare and GPO executives staffing booths as they host healthcare capital equipment suppliers, architectural firm representatives, equipment planners, engineers, construction company executives and related consultants and executives from the facility and capital equipment sectors, providing a unique opportunity to effectively and efficiently use their time and resources. Likewise, senior healthcare executives will save valuable time otherwise taken up by the process of sourcing new vendors, business partners and consultants. The ACE Reverse Expo instead will offer an open environment to meet with several potential business partners in one neutral venue.
