Information Sharing
To further support the MTAA professional development program, the MTAA is offering a number of information sharing events.
CEO Lunchtime Forums
CEOs across the medical technology industry have limited opportunity to engage in high level roundtable discussions. The forums provide an opportunity for MTAA Member senior executives to come together and discuss key issues of relevance to the medical technology industry.
Three forums will be held each year in Sydney and hosted by Anne Trimmer, MTAA CEO. A two course lunch is provided. Only Chief Executive Officers, Vice Presidents, National Directors and Managing Directors are eligible to attend.
The following CEO Forums have been held in 2008.
1. Codes of Practice and the Experience of the Pharmaceutical Industry. Presented by Mr Ian Chambers of Medicines Australia during February.
