KEYNOTE:

Medical Devices Industry Manager Venkat Rajan for Frost & Sullivan's Healthcare Practice

As part of the Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act (PPACA), a 2.3

percent excise tax goes into effect

January 2013

on the sale of nearly all

medical devices not sold direct to consumers. Though there are a number of

legislative and other legal measures in play that could remove the provision

before it goes in to effect, the potential of the tax has been identified as the

trigger behind a number of significant organizational changes that have already

taken place within many major medical devices companies.

New business models and other healthcare cost containment pressures beyond

the reform bill have forced companies to rethink their long term strategies and

approach to product development. Frost & Sullivan's keynote presentation will

take a look at the potential effects of those changing dynamics, and what it

could mean long term for stakeholders across the supply chain of medical

devices.

In addition to Frost & Sullivan's keynote presentation, other speakers and

moderators include:
