Letter from the Chairmen<br />
As Chairmen of AdvaMed 2015: The MedTech Conference,<br />
we are excited to welcome you to San Diego, a city<br />
known for its blue skies, 70 miles of beaches, and<br />
70-degree weather. In addition to being synonymous<br />
with sunshine, San Diego also means business.<br />
Thanks to its ideal location on the Pacific Rim, San<br />
Diego is a gateway to international trade, business<br />
and commerce, particularly for the MedTech<br />
industry. San Diego is the hub of one of the world’s<br />
largest and most diverse collection of medical<br />
technology companies, making it an ideal location to<br />
host AdvaMed 2015.<br />
This year is also special in that we are celebrating<br />
AdvaMed’s 40th anniversary. Over the past four<br />
decades, AdvaMed’s membership has reached nearly<br />
300 members with a global presence in Europe,<br />
India, China, Brazil and Japan. AdvaMed 2015 will<br />
celebrate the rich legacy AdvaMed has created<br />
by advocating for policies that help ensure timely<br />
patient access for the latest innovations.<br />
Our conference is a global event – open to all<br />
industry stakeholders – and the largest gathering of<br />
MedTech professionals in North America. AdvaMed<br />
2015 promises to bring together more than 2,500<br />
of the brightest minds in the industry. We aspire to<br />
share with participants insights on the regulatory,<br />
reimbursement, legal, compliance and business<br />
issues driving our industry. AdvaMed 2015 provides<br />
access to key industry leaders and gives attendees<br />
an unparalleled opportunity to connect and network<br />
with colleagues.<br />
We thank you for joining us in San Diego at AdvaMed<br />
2015 to take advantage of this experience and<br />
ensure we continue to advance our collective goals<br />
of improving the lives of patients and the medical<br />
technology industry that supports them.<br />
