Dear Colleague,

UBM Canon is pleased to announce the launch of the 2014 Fort Worth Learning Labs, taking place

alongside 7 co-located expositions on May 7-8th at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

We have doubled the educational offerings since 2012 with 2 tracks across 2 days whilst giving you

the option of booking 1 two-hour Learning Lab, 1 day or a 2 day pass. New to this year’s educational

offering at the Learning Labs:

• 100% educational content: Covering new topics including 3D Printing, innovations in robotics, new

automation technology, material selection and strategies for packaging development across twelve 2

hour learning labs.

• Readdressing the major challenges that haven’t gone away: Continuing to better medical device

design and manufacturing with an examination of new materials, innovative technology, human

factors & usability testing.

• New networking opportunities: All-day passes will be given exclusive access to lunch networking

• Fantastic speaker line up: Representatives from Medtronic, Smith & Nephew, Amgen, Covidien, The

Sustainability Council, and Stratasys presenting knowledge to tackle the most critical issues over the

next 12 months

An expo allows you to see, touch and experience new innovations and technology. Now, learn how to

apply these enabling concepts to your projects and business in the Learning Labs!

The educational learning labs seminars are designed to provide you with the business information you

need and the flexibility to book the most relevant sessions. Move easily between 12 sessions that are

scheduled to fit in with your meetings and visit to the expo.
