SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This June the medical technology industry will converge on New York for the annual Medical Design & Manufacturing East (MD&M East) exposition and conference. For the first time at this event, those attending will have an opportunity to experience professionally orchestrated Speed Networking.  As part of UBM Canon's commitment to fostering professional development in the medical design and manufacturing industry, this complimentary event will match like-minded MD&M East attendees with similar interests for a series of brief mini-meetings.

Immediately following the speed networking sessions, participants are invited to attend a coffee social. This coffee social will be a free-flowing, open-ended continuation of the discussions started during the speed networking event.
