Top Five Reasons To Attend This Conference

  1. Digital Marketing for Medical Devices was a major success in 2011. 2012 is only going to be bigger and more expansive, as we take our key learnings from the previous year and use them to hone an even better event for next summer.
  2. ExL has proven its ability to draw large numbers of device marketers and provide a highly effective networking environment. All in attendance in 2011 were delighted by how many client side individuals there were at the event. The 2012 experience will be able to draw more people based on the stellar reputation we have established.
  3. The faculty of the event will be filled with thought leaders from medical device manufacturers from around the country. The faculty is the foundation of this event and we proved this past August that a strong faculty will lay the groundwork for a successful conference. Many of the top companies were represented on the faculty and participants can expect the same for 2012.
  4. The Agenda will once again prove to be completely on target and timely. In August 2012 we presented a program that was filled with a wide array of cutting edge topics that were on the mind of every marketer in the room. This made for two days of lively discussion and collaboration that continued well into the energetic networking sessions.
  5. Digital Marketing for Medical Devices is now a global event series. With events on both coasts and in Europe these programs have a very strong connection to the industry. We bring these relationships to every event that we produce, drawing the best speakers and attendees from the most Medical Device companies.
