“It’s really cool, like ’Shark Tank’ for orthopedic surgeons! “

“A lot of people aren’t going to conferences anymore. I haven’t been to one in 3 years. Almost all of our meetings have transitioned from in-person to video and it’s been really nice, you don’t have to travel. This is a tremendous idea. It is a great way to learn about new products, to interact and ask questions. It is defi- nitely the way the future is headed.”

“This is a much better way to get introduced to new products than just wandering around an exhibit hall. It’s a really neat idea.”

“It’s a great avenue for companies to reach out to physicians and for physicians to learn about new products that we don’t know about. I really like the time format. Sometimes we run into situations where sales reps just keep talking on and on about their products. The 7-minute time slot encourages people to be very to the point. It’s a very practical use of our time.

“It went very well! The companies and products were very interesting and relevant to me. I’m following up with most of them. I believe it has been a fruitful endeavor for everyone.”

“I’m impressed. This is a lot more efficient than walking around a trade show.”

“I like the concept. It allows me to meet a lot of people from the comfort of my home. It was good, it was quick, it was to the point, and low-pressure – a comfortable distance from the vendor.”

“A really good way to see a parade of new products, some of them extremely useful, and get explanations about them face-to-face. I saw some stuff I never would have seen, some stuff I’m fascinated by.”

“I appreciate the ability to have a set time and agenda that allows a high yield re- view of potentially useful products. It avoids the inefficiencies of visiting booths at conferences or having to schedule a meeting for a product you know won’t fit your needs after 5 min of discussion. Because if you’re not interested in the pro- duct it’s an easy exit. It’s a great time saver.”
