OMTEC Customer Testimonials
Attendees say:
I like that the core of the OMTEC meeting is bringing vendors together with the manufacturers.
Ryan BelaneyVice President | Clinical & Regulatory Affairs, Active Implants
At OMTEC, I gained knowledge of the capabilities of various suppliers—I can put that to immediate use.
David AndersonFormerly Commercial Affairs, AMB Surgical
Good organization—[OMTEC] ran like clockwork. The Final Program was very helpful and the communication by email prior to the show was excellent. It’s invaluable for small or medium OEMs to help find partners in the medical industry. I gained an improved understanding of some of the available suppliers in the industry that I can consider for the future.
Robert McMillanFormer Director of Operations, Intellijoint Surgical
I’ve attended more than one OMTEC event. The quality of the meeting keeps me coming back. I talked to several vendors who are thinking of stopping their participation in other meetings, because they feel they get more bang for their buck here.
Nicholas MissosFormer Project Manager - Special Projects, K2M
OMTEC is the best place to find so many ortho suppliers in one location. The education opportunities are always on par with industry trends. Dr. Froimson (keynote address) did a phenomenal job of connecting with the suppliers and OEMs alike and helping all to understand how to best create value.
Desta WernerSenior Manager | Materials Management, Arthrex
It is good to have all suppliers in one location for networking and business opportunities. This keeps me coming back to OMTEC.
Tesa JamesBuyer, Total Joint Orthopedics
I want to thank the ORTHOWORLD team for preparing and running the most fulfilling and educational orthopaedic conference that I have ever attended. I learned a lot about the industry, made numerous connections with industry leaders and left with renewed passion for this industry and work.
Asher BrevermanArea Sales Director, Medacta USA
Due to our fast growth, we are seeking new suppliers. OMTEC provides a nice venue for this collaboration.
Frank BonoChief Technology Officer & Co-Founder, Paragon 28
I felt that 75% of the educational settings were truly a value add. I am fairly new to the medical device industry, and the information I learned was invaluable. Heath Rushing had an amazing delivery with a topic which would be difficult for a layperson like me. All of the staff were very helpful and engaging. When I was lost or looked slightly misplaced, they readily assisted. I believe it was a great experience.
Stephanie LoweryFormer Strategic Sourcing Agent, Wright Medical
OMTEC 2018 was an excellent meeting! Very informative! Nice layout of exhibits.
Andrew MiclotFormer Vice Chairman & President, WishBone Medical
Great opportunity to meet and engage with key suppliers in one place.
Steven HeastonSourcing Director - Global Machining Commodity, New Product Introduction and Supplier Op Excellence, Zimmer Biomet
I thoroughly enjoyed this conference and the tech sessions on additive manufacturing. I look forward to OMTEC 2019!
Yara HoseinDirector of Operations Additive Design in Surgical Solutions Centre
[OMTEC is] a place that brings our industry together and a great opportunity to schedule meetings with multiple customers and several people from our companies. I enjoy learning about the various trends and predictions.
Brian EmerickChief Executive Officer, Micropulse
I attend three meetings each year: OMTEC, NASS and AAOS. OMTEC is the most-well-run of them all.
Frank OccidentaleOwner & Engineer, Medilogic Group
OMTEC is an excellent opportunity for us to meet and network with new suppliers along with most of our current suppliers at one location. This is huge for us at DJO Global.
Bridgette HinojosaSenior Buyer/Planner | New Product Introduction, DJO Global
I plan to attend for a long time, and will bring even more of our team.
Scott ShankleVice President Operations, MicroPort Orthopedics, OMTEC Advisory Board Member
I keep coming back to OMTEC because it’s the perfect place to network with all my suppliers whom I don’t get to see face-to-face in the normal course of business.
Rick MadarSenior Procurement Manager, Spine Wave
Each year that I attend OMTEC, I recommit to leveraging OMTEC as a team building event between Quality, Ops, Regulatory and Product Development. OMTEC is an incredible environment for these teams to interact outside of the office.
Michael EschBusiness Unit Leader | Knees, East Zone, Zimmer Biomet
I’m new to my role for Zimmer Biomet. The opportunity to meet supplier leadership at this conference was priceless.
Steven HeastonSourcing Director - Global Machining Commodity, New Product Introduction and Supplier Op Excellence, Zimmer Biomet
I could not be happier with our first experience at OMTEC! To do it over again I would have brought four people instead of two. This is what I will be doing next year. Thank you for bringing real value in what you do.
Bryan CowanPresident, Acuity Surgical Devices
[The keynote offered] Good perspective from the hospital side. Makes me consider the types of devices that we are developing and what their impact and acceptance will be in the changing healthcare climate.
Matthew CremensProduct Development Engineer, Bonutti Technologies
This [Keynote Address from Wael K. Barsoum on Balancing Development and Value in Medical Device Advancements] was worth the price of admission.
Andrew RubinoFormer Senior Manager | Supplier Engineering, Global Procurement Technical Operations, DePuy Synthes
Best thing [at OMTEC] was working with multiple suppliers on a project at a key point, all in one place.
Andy AndersonSenior Sourcing Engineer, Stryker
[Dr. Barsoum’s Keynote] was a great and balanced presentation regarding the value proposition for hospitals in regard to cost and quality of the products and services offered. It was good that this was presented by someone with authority and experience on the subject.
Justin HertzlerPrincipal Research Engineer | Biomechanics, Zimmer Biomet
Suppliers did an excellent job of explaining drivers for their globalization with diverse country experience.
Howard LevyVice President Global Sourcing | Instruments & Trauma, Zimmer Biomet, OMTEC Advisory Board Member
The keynote lunch with Dr. Bray was a very good presentation – well-thought-out and enlightening.
David MrakDirector of Product Development, BioPro

Mark HallGlobal Commodity Leader | Implants Smith & Nephew, OMTEC Advisory Board Member
Many of the suppliers I work with were attending and had booths. In addition, I had heard positive feedback about the conference from other engineers at my company who have attended in the past, and had to experience OMTEC for myself.

OMTEC delivers strong attendance and good opportunities to get in front of current and potential new customers. Together, we’re advancing our businesses and the specialty of orthopaedics.

We’ve found that sponsoring the OMTEC welcome reception is the best use of our marketing dollars that we have, all year. Best conference for our company, annually.

Joe SaadContract Consultant | Senior Advisor | Technical Sales, Acme Manufacturing
OMTEC is a well-thought-out show. I personally heard several comments regarding how it felt high-class.
Tony DeHartFormer Director of Sales and Marketing, Micro Machine
Since OMTEC is focused solely on orthopedics, the show is smaller and more intimate, and every attendee is practically a pre-qualified lead, which we like. The show is always classy and executed with perfection, the guest speakers excellent and the food terrific. We plan to exhibit at OMTEC indefinitely.
Barry SoboleInside Technical Sales, Norman Noble
OMTEC is a great opportunity to have business development meetings with existing customers and meet a few new customers. This is why we continue to exhibit.
