8 Industry Events to Look Forward to This Spring

Almost two full years after the coronavirus came to the US and shut everything down, in-person industry events are still few and far between. There was some hope last summer—it was almost as if COVID-19 never existed at ISC West 2021—but the emergence of the delta variant, and then omicron, again brought many events to a standstill.

While it’s still hard to know what will happen in the coming months (INNOVISION 2022 was just canceled this week) many health professionals are saying we are moving past the peak of omicron, so things could start returning to some semblance of normal soon.

Here are seven industry events we’re looking forward to going to this spring—and we hope to see you there!
