MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The SMTA and MEPTEC are combining events to create the 2009 Medical Electronics Symposia, which will be held Sept. 24 and 25 in Tempe, AZ.
Each organization will organize complementary one-day tracks of technical presentations to be held on opposite days. Attendees will have the option to attend both days of the program or purchase a one-day pass to attend individual sessions.
The symposia will cover development, reliability and quality of medical electronics, materials processing and medical electronics assembly, battery technology, environmental and worldwide regulations and more.
Both organizations will issue a call for abstracts in April.
