Industry Education Workshop

Showcase your organization’s expertise at Congress with an Industry Education Workshop (IEW) presentation in a theater located in Connections Central. These nonaccredited continuing education sessions allow you to engage healthcare specialists with clinically focused content in a high-traffic, professional setting. IEWs are ideal for product demonstrations and clinical discussions, and can be accessed by all Congress attendees.

Sessions are also recorded and made available after Congress through SCCM Stream, extending the value of your workshop beyond the live meeting. Food and beverage may be ordered for any time slot to boost attendance (sponsor is responsible for coordination and fees).
