BIOMEDevice Boston postponed to 2021
BIOMEDevice, the Boston medical technology event, has announced it will now be held from 5th-6th May 2021.
The event was originally planned to take place from 16th-17th September 2020, however, following careful consideration and after closely monitoring the development of Covid-19, the event has been postponed.
The 2021 event will be held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, MA, and will be held in accordance with Informa’s AllSecure health and safety standard. Informa has developed a detailed set of enhanced measures, Informa AllSecure, to provide the highest levels of hygiene and safety at its events, and to provide everyone with reassurance and confidence that they are participating in a safe and controlled environment.
BIOMEDevice has also introduced the launch of its virtual event, BIOMEDevice Digital Express. The virtual event will take place on 6th August, and will feature industry expert-led educational sessions, a keynote address, lunch & learn, virtual speed networking, amongst other activities designed to cover medical device innovation and trends from digital health, 3D printing, robotic surgery, and more.
Chris Stevens, senior R&D engineer at Protolabs, commented: “Today’s global uncertainty has disrupted the entire medical device community with many pivoting and shifting their focus to combatting Covid-19. Now, more than ever the community needs to come together to share solutions that will not only develop the next life-saving device but better prepare the medical industry for the next disruption.
“We’re pleased to be able to share our knowledge and manufacturing expertise to a wider audience and industry peers at BIOMEDevice Digital Express, while we continue to build connections and expand our thinking virtually.”
BIOMEDevice Digital Express will be followed by BIOMEDigital, which is scheduled to take place from 4th-5th November and include two days of content, networking, and a virtual expo hall.
