Please spread the word to anyone you think might be interested in attending. We are looking to engage a wide variety of people and professions including engineers, doctors, managers, manufacturers, healthcare NGOs etc. A wide variety of backgrounds should encourage a more creative and productive discussion. I attach a flyer for you to distribute as you wish.
