I firmly believe that in adding the CHCC brand to Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions’ health sector portfolio, we will bring our expertise in face-to-face and virtual experiences, global reach and resources, to bear on CHCC’s members, stakeholders, academics and industry leaders, ensuring growth, development and value for all our partners.”
