Ease of communication seemed to be paramount, while supply chain geography was a point of focus for many as well. This panel will discuss the vision for the new supply chain make-up and the implications for those involved, from OEM to service provider.

While prevention can be expensive, it pales in comparison to a breach, so ensuring the production floor is safe is paramount. This session will provide insights on what leaders at medtech manufacturing firms must keep in mind.
