MD&M East has, since 1983, provided an array of resources for the design and manufacture of both current and next-generation medical devices. More than 10,000 medical product development professionals from the eastern US and key international medical manufacturing centers are expected to attend.

MD&M East 2009 conference attendees register on Monday.

Organizers expect 750 exhibitors and 9500 exhibition attendees; the associated conference is expected to draw around 300. Total event attendance is estimated to be around 12,000 people.

Photonics-related solutions will be on display in the Optics Pavilion, LaserTec and PrecisionTec product pavilions.

Colocated with this year's show in the Javits Center will be other industry-related shows, including Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, Automation Technology Expo (ATX) East, EastPack and the Green Manufacturing Expo.
