More than 250 attendees joined us at 230 FIFTH, the largest outdoor Rooftop Garden in NYC, to rub elbows with this year’s ELITE 100. The celebration, sponsored by Calcium, CoverMyMeds, Outcome Health, and D+R Lathian, provided the opportunity for attendees to converse with our industry’s cream of the crop. Not only did that include our Uber ELITE winner, Dr. Nina Tandon of EpiBone—who also delivered a fascinating keynote address about the future of living medical devices—but many others who have helped, or are currently helping, to revolutionize the industry. This was no doubt the industry’s hottest party of the year—and we don’t just mean the temperature. Everyone enjoyed good cocktails, delicious food, a fantastic view, and great conversations.
