Medical Electronics Symposium 2018 R E G I S T E R T O DAY AT S M TA . O R G / M E D I CA L SMTA, INEMI, and MEPTEC have joined forces to again host this international conference, focusing on advances in electronic technologies and advanced manufacturing, specifically targeting medical and bioscience applications. Our last conference attract- ed about 200 attendees and more than 30 exhibitors. In prior years, MEPTEC's and SMTA's conferences were held in Phoenix, AZ and Milpitas, CA, respectively, drawing technology experts, entrepreneurs and service providers that work in this niche technology space. Typical applications within this space involve implantable defibrillators, neurostimulators and drug delivery, interventional catheters, pillcams, ultrasound transducers, hear- ing aids, biosensors, microfluidics, wireless communications, as well as future diagnostic and treatment solutions that may use stretchable electronics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) or nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). ◆ May 16 & 17 University of Texas at Dallas • Dallas, TX TECHNICAL COMMITTEE General Chair: Chuck Richardson, iNEMI Technical Chairs: Don Banks, Abbott Peter Tortorici, Ph.D., Medtronic Microelectronics Center Dock Brown, DfR Solutions Dale Lee, Plexus Corp.
