HealthPack 2010
March 2-4, 2010
The Sheraton Gunter

HealthPack 2010 is the conference focused on developments in medical device packaging.
This annual event is for medical device packaging professionals looking for ideas and solutions that will help them produce better, more efficient packaging.
The 2010 event is located at the Sheraton Gunter in San Antonio, TX. This is the same location HealthPack was held in 2008, where you may remember it was a standing room only sell-out!
We expect attendee numbers for 2010 to exceed those of 2008 and exhibitor space for 2010 is already filled (click here for list of 2010 exhibitors) so don't miss out!
PLUS - enjoy scenic San Antonio: the riverwalk (www.thesanantonioriverwalk.com), the Alamo (www.thealamo.org) and more! |

Mr. Sidebottom, who is currently serving as Chair of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation's (AAMI) board of directors, will address AAMI's position in the matrix of medical device packaging standards. He will also address how AAMI functions and how they have influenced and benefited from medical device packaging standards.
Nurses forum will review and analyze medical device packages. Hugely successful at HealthPack 2009, find out exactly what nursing professionals think about your packages - expecially in relation to intense emergency/operating room circumstances.
Third edition of the HealthPack exclusive AORN study - compiled with up-to-the-minute information about how your packages impact medical professionals and what you can do to make them better. |
