Alexandria, Va.  – The Health Industry Distributors Association (HIDA) announced 30% more distributors and group purchasing organizations (GPOs) will participate in the Reverse Expo at its 2017 Streamlining Healthcare Conference, September 26-28, Chicago, IL. 

HIDA’s Reverse Expo is the only industry event that guarantees access to med-surg distributors, specialty distributors, GPOs and regional purchasing coalitions (RPCs). These companies occupy booths during a single, three-hour event with no appointments needed.
