Industry Think Group

Participate in a private industry informational meeting with 6-10 EAST leaders and experts in virtual format. EAST will coordinate the invitation of EAST leaders and experts to discuss topics of your choosing such as R&D, avenues for marketing and penetration, discussion about why a particular technology is not being adopted, etc. – all from the surgeon’s perspective. Your team asks the question. EAST members help you answer it.  This is an excellent opportunity to gain access to leaders in trauma that represent a diverse group of practicing surgeons including those who do and do not use your product. This opportunity allows you to pitch your product and, more importantly, have an open dialogue, while directly supporting the Fund. Investment: $20,000 for up to two hours
