HealthPack 2008 sponsored by IoPP Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee

Innovative Technology Conferences is pleased to announce that HealthPack 2008 – taking place March 4-6, 2008, in San Antonio, Texas – will be sponsored by the Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee (MDPTC) of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP).

HealthPack is the only conference dedicated to medical device packaging and strives to create a forum for ideas and solutions to help medical device professionals design efficient, innovative packaging.

IoPP’s MDPTC provides an environment for packaging professionals in the medical device industry to address issues that affect them in areas of organization, innovation, regulations, standards and new technologies.

The sponsorship, according to John Spitzley CPP, MDPTC co-chair, forms a synergy that helps advance the event’s overall educational mission.

“While MDPTC provides a forum for the medical device packaging industry to discuss issues that affect them,” says Spitzley, “HealthPack focuses on new technologies, trends and customer needs. As a sponsor, MDPTC will help promote HealthPack as the premier conference for the medical packaging device industry to garner ideas and gain knowledge.”

HealthPack includes a full conference agenda combined with table-top exhibits, which, according to Curt Larsen CPP, MDPTC co-chair, will provide opportunities for attendees to connect with leading suppliers and service vendors.

“Part of MDPTC’s vision is to provide continuing education for medical device packaging professionals and HealthPack is the only educational event devoted specifically to this industry,” says Larsen. “It also provides excellent networking opportunities for everybody involved.”

According to Patrick Farrey, President of Innovative Technology Conferences, MDPTC’s sponsorship brings an added level of expertise to the venue.

“HealthPack is already the leading conference event in medical device packaging,” says Farrey. “With MDPTC’s participation, the event will expand its program by focusing on package innovation, standards and technology, global packaging, compliance and more.”
