HealthPack 2017 will take place March 7 to 9 at the Denver Marriott Center. Held in cooperation with the Institute of Packaging Professionals’ Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee, HealthPack is an annual educational event that keeps medical device professionals informed about leading-edge industry trends, from regulatory and testing issues to materials advances and case studies.
Consisting of a conference, exhibit hall and networking opportunities, HealthPack’s signature event is its live panel of operating room nurses and technicians reviewing and critiquing commercialized medical device packages submitted by event attendees. The review is shown to the audience via a closed-circuit feed, followed by a Q&A between the nurses and audience. Watch a video clip from last year’s Nurses Panel here.
