Why is the 3rd Semi-Annual Medical Device Packaging Conference important to packaging executives?
This is a very informative conference that shares current challenges that packaging organizations experience, and often presenters share best practices and other key information to help MDMs make good business/risk decisions related to packaging.

 

Are there any sessions or topics you’re looking forward to discussing at the September conference?
There are many technical topics that always pique interest, such as best practices from procedures, test method application, technology solutions, sample size justifications, and case studies on a variety of topics such as sealing validations, statistical rationales/justifications, and lessons learned.

We are expanding the scope of our team to completely own packaging clean room processes.
