Survival in Tumultuous Times

Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the 9th Annual Medical Convention and Exposition program to be held on March 29, 2009 at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio.  I would personally like to invite each one of you to exhibit or attend this exciting event that has become the “best healthcare expo” in the Greater Cleveland area.  As you perhaps know our whole concept of holding this exposition in Cleveland has been to support the economy at the Ohio level yet bring industry that is national or international in its origin.  Cleveland is the hometown to the world renown and largest healthcare industry and that is why we continue to bring health care shows in our own hometown.  There are many shows that are done in other parts of the country but we feel that what better way to support our economy and industry but by showing that we can bring national caliber shows here in Cleveland.  Also I am very thankful to the community at large that for all these years they have supported this cause by being a participant in the show each year!

Healthcare industry trends toward emerging markets, new products and technologies, and improved services. Without doubt, the same trend applies to MedExpo 2009: The Wellness LifeStyle Expo, which after eight years continues to deliver a consistently trendy and exciting event to the healthcare community.

Many find that planning for trade shows and promotional events whether as an exhibitor or attendee today is vastly different than even a few years ago. People have limited time to attend shows, have more budget constraints, and more stringent requirements on how they can spend their time and money for expos.  At the same time, exhibitors want a maximum ROI on their trade show dollars.

To fit the changing industry needs and create a worthwhile trade show experience for you, our team has redesigned the MedExpo and created yet another brand new show concept! Highlights include:
1. Less than ONE DAY Event – to allow for less time out of the office, convenient travel time, and lower travel budgets/attendee costs
2. Attendees include a broad spectrum of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, educators, researchers, and other professionals. This diverse attendance is perfect for exhibitors to promote products across the continuum of care.
3. Renewed concept of showcasing in the Exhibit Hall – creating greater networking and promotional opportunities for exhibitors and yet providing better returns to the attendees in gaining more first hand knowledge of products and services
4. The Guest Featured Speaker who is a true SURVIVOR in Tumultuous times and a NEW live Broadway Style Show to be performed by very talented group of people - this Expo is going to be a huge attendance draw and will give participating exhibitors and sponsors even more visibility among attendees.

On behalf of PDM Healthcare and Avani International, I thank you for your ongoing business and support of this event each year. We look forward to seeing you again at the MedExpo on March 29th!

Best regards,

Ash Chawla, MS, RPh
Chairman & CEO
