Early in my career, a big part of my job was to coordinate company involvement in various trade shows across North America. I have worked hundreds of industry and association events over the years. As a result, most tradeshows and conferences can look the same to me and I rarely get excited to attend.

However, I am truly excited to attend the MEDTECH 2015: Convergence | Building Momentum for Growth conference in Buffalo, NY on October 14th and 15th. Here’s why.

Passion for Innovation

My excitement is both personal and professional. I’ve enjoyed my career in engineering and manufacturing over the years because I enjoy seeing how things are made. You could say that innovation truly inspires me.

For Creation Technologies and so many within the electronics manufacturing industry, we believe innovation is at the core of commercialization and manufacturing success. Without new ideas driving new technologies and new products, there would be no manufacturing sector. We’d lose a big economic driver.

Economic Opportunity

Over the last 10 years, there have been significant shifts in manufacturing in North America. I’ve travelled across many provinces and states, visiting businesses in small towns and big cities. I’ve been witness to the struggle of businesses and have seen the very real impact on local economies when a company is forced to close its doors, as well as the impact on people and their families when those jobs are lost.

The entire premise of MEDTECH 2015 is to bring together brilliant minds in healthcare, sharing new ideas and technologies that will elevate the medical industry to new levels. MedTech member companies are innovative and bringing new products to market. As a result, MedTech member companies are growing and creating new employment opportunities across the New York State and beyond, which is a good thing for everyone.

Medical Industry Driving Renewal and Growth

I am excited that Creation is a member of MedTech, and we are looking forward to great discussion at the conference in Buffalo.

I look forward to hearing the thoughts of Bhawnesh Mathur, Creation’s President and CEO, as he discusses the theme of Manufacturing Innovation as part of a panel of experts.

I also look forward to learning more about the cutting-edge technologies and products in development by our OEM customers.

Creation Technologies’ mission statement is to ‘enrich lives’ and we are proud to support MedTech and its innovative member companies. There is no doubt the ideas shared at MEDTECH 2015 will spark change and revitalize communities.

And that’s something to get excited about.
