Business matchmaking breakfast

Senior personnel from hospitals and the medical profession are invited to attend the networking breakfast on Thursday, 17 September from 9am. "With effective business matchmaking, participants are pre-profiled and are able to preview, select and ensure quality business interactions at the event," says Tracy Watcham of Outsmart Marketing. The idea is to maximise the networking between VIPs and exhibitors at PAH.
