WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AdvaMed 2007, the inaugural MedTech conference, kicks off today bringing together industry leaders, policy makers, service providers, investors and leading CEOs of medical technology companies from around the world. The conference runs today, Oct. 1 through Oct. 3.

With more than 45 industry sponsors, 26 U.S. and international supporting partner organizations, and 10 media partners, this first-of-its kind event will welcome an opening-day crowd of more than 900 attendees from 35 states and 25 countries.
