NAPLES, FL (June 21, 2026)--From an organization that used to close the doors of its Annual Management Conference to manufacturers, IMDA is quickly becoming the meeting place of choice for manufacturers of innovative devices and specialty sales and marketing companies.
Fourteen manufacturers exhibited their products at the IMDA Manufacturers Forum, held during the organization�s 2001 Annual Management Conference. That is more than double the number of vendors that have exhibited at prior Forums. In addition, several non-exhibiting manufacturers were on-hand to attend educational seminars, and another � Maxtec � sponsored several Conference functions.
�The primary purpose of the Conference remains unchanged, that is, to provide our members a networking and educational forum to help increase their companies� professionalism and sales success,� said association President Richard Manley, president of Arlington, TX-based CVC Inc. �But we�ve added another element, namely, to put our members face-to-face with the most innovative medical products manufacturers in the industry today.

Among the products exhibited at the Forum were:
