The medical device industry is finding itself at a point where science fiction is becoming reality. With the advent of new technologies, processes and materials, devices and supplies once impossible to conceive of, let alone produce, are now being successfully produced, marketed and adopted.

This forum focuses on the impact new materials and technologies have on the discovery, development, and design of devices. The challenges with which medical device companies are now faced incorporate not only the discovery of new, innovative technologies, but also cost effectiveness, market awareness, and regulatory compliance – all factors that must be built-in to product design.

The Future Medical Forum brings together some of the leading minds and decision makers in the medical device industry for two days of think tanks, round table discussions, workshops and keynote presentations.

The Future Medical Forum will be broadcast live via web cast to a global audience, making this one of the paramount medical device events of 2006.
