Day 1: Shifting The Supply Chain In Response To The New Healthcare Environment

Friday, November 4th, 2016

10:35 PANEL: M&A One Year Later: Are You Still Surviving?

A lot of major mergers and acquisitions happened in the med device space last year – and at LogiMed in April we got to hear how this was impacting the major supply chains and plans for the future. Now that many acquisitions have been finalized, we’ll speak with some of the supply chain heads who have been leading their companies through the integration process, and also hear from those currently in the depths of it. You’ll catch what they’ve learned along the way, tips for effective consolidation, how to keep your teams motivated through the process, and more!
