Focusing on the design, development, and manufacture of orthopedic devices, instruments, and implants coupled with a keen awareness of challenges associated with the space, Orthopedic Design and Technology’s conference series—the ODT Forum—returned to Memphis as a high-level networking and educational event. These highly informative symposiums address critical issues impacting multiple stakeholders within the industry. Graciously hosted by the FedEx Institute of Technology on the grounds of the University of Memphis, this year’s Forum simultaneously highlighted the appeal of the region for orthopedic technology development while tackling a number of the most significant issues for today’s orthopedic manufacturers.

Against the backdrop of such an impressive location, this interactive networking and educational event partnered local experts with out-of-state industry thought leaders—OEMs, contract manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, members of the investment community, and academia—for a unique forum to discuss critical industry topics and offer tools to compete and grow in today’s challenging business climate.
