CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio, March 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OMTEC 2016, the 12th Annual Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference, will gather professionals from around the world and from within the full spectrum of the supply chain to educate, network, problem-solve and uncover opportunities to advance the specialty of orthopaedics.

"OMTEC will provide actionable advice for present-day challenges, and also furnish the crucial futurist viewpoints of Drs. Haas and Tribe," commented Carolyn LaWell, Chief Content Officer for ORTHOWORLD Inc., the company behind OMTEC. "The implications of changes made today – be they technological, logistical, infrastructural or otherwise – need to be evaluated for their relevancy and impact, three, five, even several years down the line. OMTEC is the ideal place to engage in such discussions, since everyone present is part of the same chain."

OMTEC 2016 will take place June 15-16, 2016 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois. Approximately 1,000 participants from 15 countries are expected.
