Evolutionary Road: From Invention to Exit in Medical Devices

A Special Invitation

We would like to invite you to attend what we believe will be the premier medical device event for entrepreneurs, corporate acquirers, and investors: the Northeast MedTech Conference "Evolutionary Road: From Invention to Exit in Medical Devices."

As you know, the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions are rich in clinical expertise, innovative technologies, and savvy investors. What's been lacking until now is a forum to bring all of them together in a program dedicated to sharing ideas and networking with peers.

The half-day event is organized by the Life Sciences Angel Network at the New York Academy of Sciences and Elsevier Business Intelligence Group (publishers of In Vivo, Start-Up, Medtech Insight, and The Gray Sheet).

Location: The New York Academy of Sciences (250 Greenwich Street, 40th Fl, New York, NY 10007)

Time: 1:00 PM on Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Keynote Speaker: Martin Leon, MD, Director, Center for Interventional Vascular Therapy, Columbia University Medical Center / New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Focus & Mission: To provide a unique opportunity for constructive discussions and networking for medical device entrepreneurs, CEOs of young start-ups, venture-backed companies, business development executives from large Medtech companies, as well as angels, venture capitalists, and corporate investors.
