Questions to prepare before your meetings

Radiology departmentWhich part of our workflow changes, and what evidence supports the benefit?Workflow-specific demonstration and evidence request
Imaging IT teamHow will the solution connect with our existing systems?Technical requirements discussion
Procurement or service ownerWhat implementation, training and support are included?Comparable scope and commercial follow-up

A useful meeting ends with an agreed action: a technical review, a sample request, a partner conversation or a scoped evaluation. Record who owns that action and which question is still unanswered.

A practical visit plan

StageRecommended action
Before ChicagoChoose the registration package that covers your plan. Reserve booth meetings within the technical-exhibit dates.
First exhibit blockUse Meeting Central to find candidate companies and arrange comparable demonstrations.
Second exhibit blockBring imaging IT or operational owners into shortlisted vendor discussions.
December 3 and follow-upKeep December 3 for the remaining meeting programme, not technical-exhibit appointments. Request evidence and next-step owners after each demo.

Pro Tip: Leave gaps between appointments and reconfirm the exact meeting location. A directory listing is a research starting point; it is not a booked meeting.
