WestPack 2020 (Anaheim, CA, Feb. 11-13) will offer myriad learning opportunities for medical packaging professionals, with a conference program delivering packaging education and training in multiple formats.
The show’s conference program comprises two Innovation Summit tracks—the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Summit and the 3D Printing Innovation Summit—and eight Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West Conference tracks:
• Exploring Emerging Technologies of the Digital Health Boom.
• User-Centered Design Strategies and Tactics for Faster Product Development.

In addition to keynote panels and conventional sessions, each of the eight MD&M West tracks includes non-traditional session formats, such as Lightning Workshops, roundtable discussions and Tech Talk Panels.
Tech Theater presentations, sponsored education sessions and lunch-and-learns round out the show’s educational options.
A new feature at WestPack 2020, the Meet the Speaker Lounge, will give attendees the chance to continue asking questions and talking with speakers after their sessions conclude. Click here for the WestPack 2020 conference overview.
