GE Healthcare’s Centricity Imaging IT Tour 2013 tour neared the end of its five-month journey as it passed through Barrington, Ill., in September. Designed to bring a more intimate trade show experience to the customer, the tour provided a hands-on, in-depth overview to an audience that might not be reached through the traditional trade show booth experience in a creative and engaging way. Healthcare administrators and providers at hospitals and medical centers across the United States and Canada were able to experience GE’s entire line of Centricity Imaging technologies during its stops in more than 30 major markets, visiting more than 60 hospital sites.
