What members are saying about ANAE

“Attending the ANAE Amazon meeting in Seattle was productive for our organization. We gained valuable insights that will impact our industry & customers. We also made key customer contacts at the event that led to follow-up meetings the very next week. With the information we learned and the contacts we made, it was well worth attending!”

– John Eppard, Director – National Accounts, Portola

“Engaging in ANAE events over the past six years has proven to be a profoundly positive and valuable experience for both me and my leadership team. The opportunity to network with and gain insights from both providers and vendors has been instrumental in our professional growth. One particularly impactful moment occurred during an ANAE meeting, where we received feedback from providers indicating that many vendors struggled to articulate their value proposition, and navigating value analysis in purchased services posed significant challenges. In response, we took the initiative to refine our own value proposition, subsequently trademarking it. The process of honing and crystallizing our sales pitch played a pivotal role in propelling our business to exponential growth. We eagerly anticipate our ongoing involvement in ANAE events and wholeheartedly encourage healthcare account executives to participate, offering a valuable platform for learning and networking.”

– Oded Hadani, Chief Executive Officer, Coolsmart Medical Logistics

“This webinar was of the utmost caliber – very informative and enlightening, with an articulate presenter. One of the best webinars in terms of content and presentation that I have participated in during my healthcare career of 35 years!”

– Nora Sugintas, CEO, Strategic GPO Consultants – In response to a webinar featuring Simrit Sandhu, Executive Director of Supply Chain, Cleveland Clinic

“I prefer the intimate setting of ANAE meetings because it allows for more in-depth discussions with industry peers and potential customers. The ANAE facilitators are well versed in the healthcare industry, so content flows naturally between them and the presenters. These meetings often take a conversational tone, so it seems like a roomful of colleagues chatting about work.”
