PrimeFare Goes West—Again

PrimeCare O&P Network, Cordova, Tennessee, held its second annual PrimeFare West meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, on February 23-24, 2007.

"We deeply appreciate the support of our exhibitors, presenters, sponsors, and area practitioners as we focus on growing this meeting.

Minor, The O&P EDGE, American Orthopedic Supply, Spinal Technology, and Strategic Marketing,

Workshops and presentations covered the gamut from Smith Global, Freedom Innovations, Arizona AFO, Allard USA, Outsource Marketing Solutions, National Pedorthic Services, and Cailor Fleming.

"Informal discussions with attendees garnered support and assurance from practitioners in the area to return for next years meeting and to encourage their colleagues attendance at PrimeFare West, 2008," Pruitt continued. "Along with our PrimeCare partners, we will be implementing some unique marketing opportunities to continue to build attendance for PrimeFare West."

Jane Edwards, account manager for PrimeCare, added, "We are committed to the western United States and plan to continue member recruitment as well as education in that region."

PrimeFare East will celebrate its ninth year, June 29-30, 2007, at the Nashville Convention Center.
