Over 90 sessions are available for attendees to choose from, based on their business needs. In addition to the trade show and conference, Medtrade attendees can take advantage of numerous networking opportunities and special events such as AAHomecare's Stand Up for Homecare Fundraising Reception.

"Medtrade is the perfect venue for education and networking. The Stand Up for Homecare Reception promises to be the networking event of the year for the HME industry."
