MEDICAL DEVICE CONGRESS OVERVIEW

The Fourth Medical Device Regulatory, Reimbursement and Compliance Congress (Device Congress), www.DeviceCongress.com, will take place November 9 - 11, 2009 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC. The Device Congress will be offered both onsite and online (live and archived for 6 months via the Internet). The Device Congress is sponsored by media partners Harvard Health Policy Review and Health Affairs.

The Device Congress has been based at Harvard University for the past three years. This year we are bringing the event to Washington DC in recognition of the importance of the new adminis-tration and ongoing major initiatives in national health reform.

The audience will include executives, lawyers, compliance officers, and regulatory personnel from medical device manufacturers, as well as outside counsel and consultants to these industries. The goal of the Congress is to promote legal and regulatory compliance efforts within the medical device industry, identify best compliance practices, and foster continued dialogue between the industry and government regulatory and enforcement personnel.

The Device Congress will immediately precede the Tenth Annual Pharmaceutical Regulatory and Compliance Congress, www.PharmaCongress.com, November 11 - 13, 2009, at the JW Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC. The Pharma Congress is sponsored by the Pharmaceutical Compliance Forum, www.PharmaComplianceForum.org, a coalition of senior compliance officials and legal counsel from more than 50 of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers.
