Quadax Goes to War (College)

By: Field Service Account Executive

Miami in May. A wonderful time to visit, and an even better time for a Laboratory/Pathology Management conference. The 11th Annual Executive War College was held May 3rd through May 5th at the Hotel Intercontinental in downtown Miami. The arduous task of attending this conference fell upon Mike Kovacs and me.

The Executive War College holds this event annually, and it was the first time the event was held in Miami. This conference is a chance for the upper echelon of laboratory and pathology management to come together to discuss and share information on matters critical to their industry. The War College convenes a three-day schedule of talks, presentations, Q&A, and break out sessions designed to cover all of the “hot button” issues affecting labs and pathology groups.

Quadax clients represented a good portion of the professionals in attendance as well as a few of the presenters. This was a great opportunity to see some familiar faces and brush up on some current and exciting developments in our industry.

While not a true “vendor-friendly show” with displays and vendor receptions, the War College, along with Robert L. Michel, founder of the War College, made Mike and me, as well as vendors from across the industry, feel very welcome. Quadax did play a sponsorship role in the War College, and Quadax marketing materials were available for attendees who were interested.

The G-2 conferences, and now the Executive War College, continue to be excellent opportunities to meet old friends, stay in touch with existing clients, and make new professional contacts, ensuring the continued growth and success of Quadax’s Lab Manager group.
