Most of the MD&DI staff is attending. Today's sessions will impart crucial information on such topics as nanotechnology and combination products. The Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday sessions will be equally vital, and we would be remiss if we did not mention that Wednesday's session on collaborative outsourcing will be chaired by MD&DI Editor-in-Chief Erik Swain. Wednesday also will feature the Medical Design Excellence Awards ceremony. The exhibit hall opens tomorrow and runs through Thursday. Â
