Good organization—[OMTEC] ran like clockwork. The Final Program was very helpful and the communication by email prior to the show was excellent. It’s invaluable for small or medium OEMs to help find partners in the medical industry. I gained an improved understanding of some of the available suppliers in the industry that I can consider for the future.

OMTEC is the best place to find so many ortho suppliers in one location. The education opportunities are always on par with industry trends. Dr. Froimson (keynote address) did a phenomenal job of connecting with the suppliers and OEMs alike and helping all to understand how to best create value.

I felt that 75% of the educational settings were truly a value add. I am fairly new to the medical device industry, and the information I learned was invaluable. Heath Rushing had an amazing delivery with a topic which would be difficult for a layperson like me.
All of the staff were very helpful and engaging. When I was lost or looked slightly misplaced, they readily assisted. I believe it was a great experience.

OMTEC is a well-thought-out show. I personally heard several comments regarding how it felt high-class.
Tony DeHart
Former Director of Sales and Marketing
Micro Machine
Since OMTEC is focused solely on orthopedics, the show is smaller and more intimate, and every attendee is practically a pre-qualified lead, which we like. The show is always classy and executed with perfection, the guest speakers excellent and the food terrific. We plan to exhibit at OMTEC indefinitely.

OMTEC is a great opportunity to have business development meetings with existing customers and meet a few new customers. This is why we continue to exhibit.
