______________________________________________

Hartford, Connecticut

BioMedical Engineering Alliance & Consortium (BEACON) announced today it has engaged Designing Events LLC, a premier global conference planning company, to organize and manage MEDi 2008, the foremost Northeast conference and exhibition for the medical device and medical device manufacturing industry. This partnership will result in an event that brings together leaders in the industry, offers demonstrations of new technology and provides unparalleled educational opportunities.

Joseph Bronzino, president of BEACON, says with enthusiasm that "MEDi 2008 is promising to be the most comprehensive and informative event for the region's burgeoning medical device and medical device manufacturing industry. Hiring Designing Events assures the more than 2,000 expected attendees that the conference will be of the highest quality and value," he added.

Designing Events has a proven track record as a provider of planning and management for pharmaceutical, corporate and association events, meetings and conferences.

Michelle Issing, president of Designing Events, says, "I am pleased to be working with BEACON to bring enhancements to its MEDi 2008 conference. We already have a plan for making major improvements, using the knowledge gained from the 2005 event and our own extensive experience in managing and organizing events like this one."

MEDi 2008, scheduled for Sept. 9 and 10, 2008, at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Ct., will feature leading and emerging researchers, designers and developers of the medical device industry, as well as physicians, surgeons and medical professionals. The conference trade show will include exhibits from the industry's major manufacturers and suppliers.

"Our research has shown that there is a growing need for a regional medical device conference and exhibition that focuses on the medical device and medical device manufacturing industry and provides ample networking opportunities. We will more than fulfill this need with our educational programming and during our two-day exhibition," says Bronzino.

The conference's educational content will be a combination of high-quality scientific research data with proven, validated industry case studies, strategies for bringing new devices to market, manufacturing issues, legal/regulatory issues and clinical applications.

The trade show will highlight the latest advances in the medical device and medical device manufacturing industry, along with numerous demonstrations.

"With the help of Designing Events, which has organized numerous informative and successful events worldwide, we are creating a conference that will be highly interactive for all attendees, from demonstrations of equipment to ample opportunities to network," says Bronzino. "MEDi 2008 will represent a major step forward from previous events and be a revitalization of our plan to organize and present MEDi conferences every other year."
