The 18th Annual Medical Devices 2013: A Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange takes place March 10-12, 2013, at the Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa in San Diego, Calif. Participants will gain insight into the future of medical technology and healthcare delivery as they engage with other seasoned medical device executives driving the future of healthcare, as well as their company’s
innovation and business strategy.

Topics covered at this event include: Three Big Predictions: Healthcare 2025 – Personalization, Without PCP; Savvy Partnering for Innovation; Developing Innovative IP Strategies in a Global Economy; Mapping the Innovation Maturity Curve and mHealth: At the Forefront of Future Medicine. The valuable takeaways participants receive are very practical, and ready for immediate implementation.

“The Frost & Sullivan Executive MindXchange is one of the most uniquely designed and well thought out programs I have attended,” said ConvaTec Global Government Affairs and Health Policy Vice President, Joseph Rolley. “The learning comes not just in the form of traditional lectures, but from audience participation and sharing of ideas and experiences.”

The high-level program will be beneficial to senior-level executives, particularly those in C-level and vice president positions involved with: business development, government affairs & reimbursement, intellectual property, medical affairs, marketing, healthcare strategy, product development, QA, sales, strategic planning, technology assessment and commercialization, amongst others.

Additional event highlights include “The Vino Voyage,” where executive attendees will get acquainted over a wine tasting luncheon while cruising the San Diego harbor. Attendees will participate in a unique event format of two-way dialogue and debate, while taking in the breathtaking location. Just seven miles from downtown, the Hilton San Diego Hotel sits on 18 acres
of recreational paradise. The hotel also boasts an award-winning executive Chef and banquet team.

A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma

A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
