More than 650 industry executives are expected to descend upon OCTANe's California Medical Device & Investor Forum at the Hyatt Regency Irvine, which begins Monday. The fourth annual event will discuss new trends, firms and investment opportunities within the sector.
“This will be a unique business conference for the exchange of ideas among public and private medical device companies, doctors, start-ups, scientists and leading venture capital firms,” says Aliso Viejo-based OCTANe President and CEO Matthew Jenusaitis.
He says the event will "showcase California innovation at its finest." And it's true: Professionals from around the county, nation and the world – from as far as France and Australia – are attending, hoping to learn about the region's promising medical sector.
The conference will kick off by taking a close look at some of the largest medical-industry deals in O.C. in recent months. Among them: Abbott's $2.8 billion acquisition of Santa Ana-based AMO; and Medtronic's more than $700 million buyout of Irvine-based CoreValve. The presentation will focus on the planning, structuring and execution of the transactions.
