“MNVC is a fantastic event with a compact format of informational sessions and networking opportunities. In addition to providing insights on recent developments in the orthopedics industry, it also provides a great opportunity to network with industry executives and just see old friends still active in medical devices. I look forward to attending MNVC every year.”
