WASHINGTON, DC, April 23, 2008 – Medical device industry leaders, lawmakers, and government officials will gather for the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA) on June 12th and 13th at the Marriott at Metro Center in Washington, D.C.
MDMA is the voice for innovative, entrepreneurial medical technology companies. The Annual Meeting brings leading medical technology executives together with healthcare’s most influential and respected decision-makers. Understanding the impact of industry and government trends has never been more important. We encourage all industry executives to attend, get informed and get active.
Meeting attendees will hear from panels comprised of seasoned experts from Capitol Hill, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and industry. In addition to FDA topics, coverage and payment issues and reforming hospital group purchasing organizations (GPOs), the meeting will feature sessions on issues and challenges facing fast growing medical technology companies, international opportunities, fraud and abuse and the changing landscape of the US patent system.
“MDMA’s Annual Meeting is the premier event for innovative, entrepreneurial industry executives” said Joe Kiani, Chairman and CEO of Masimo Corporation. “The meeting provides industry leaders with the opportunity to network with colleagues and hear from lawmakers and leading government officials about current and future trends in our industry.”
