VP Operations, Pharamlink
The IMPACT event was a great experience from the registration, to the presentations and the one on one vendor discussions. I also enjoyed the opportunity to go back and review the presentations."
Senior Manager Quality, Purdue
I was introduced to solution providers that I would not have otherwise found & found details that I would not have gotten from websites. It’s already generating further dialog about how we can work together in the future."
