Medical conferences are increasingly important forums for medical device marketers to show off their devices, systems and methods. Indeed, medical animation appears to be playing an increasingly important role in various aspects of medical marketing, continuing and medical student education, and even patient education. Increasingly, savvy presenters are embracing the shift toward more sophisticated presentations by incorporating amusing, entertaining or utterly informative animations, video, sound, etc. Dry, static slides with simple text and abstract graphics will no longer cut it in our digital, multimedia-on-demand age. In today’s world of instant digital messaging, and multiple platforms for sharing photographs, audio clips, and videos, it’s no wonder conference attendees are likely to appreciate more-sophisticated video-sharing platforms, and easy-to-use multimedia.

Indeed, at present there more than 30 different presentation software programs available for use. Numerous other examples of software programs dedicated to bringing new life to presentations exist. The new Sway app, for example, has been described as “ PowerPoint on steroids, but much easier to use.” This Web-based multimedia app makes it simple to integrate far more than just text and simplistic images or graphics. Paper and ink have their place, but there’s a sense that the old, static approach to presentation lacks the pizazz needed to grab and hold attendees’ attention. Today’s presenters have the option of offering electronic posters, with integrated medical animations. Multimedia-capable devices and presentation software can provide much-needed visual clarity to often-challenging concepts and processes, to be sure. Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple’s Keynote, or Microsoft’s newest presentation app, Sway), has become common. In recent years, the use of sophisticated software programs to streamline the slide-making process and dress up these presentations (e.g.

Simple visual aids, such as slide shows, overhead projectors, whiteboards and blackboards are all but ubiquitous. Poster presentations, usually featuring hard copies of published or unpublished findings, are common. Traditionally, presenters relied on tried and true techniques to share their messages. Of course, medical conferences provide crucial opportunities for continuing medical education, too. From pr development to disseminating new research to exploring new techniques and practices, the medial conference plays an important, time-honored role in the advancement of medicine and medical science. There are even conferences dedicated to the history of medicine. And, increasingly, they’re an important destination for medical device manufacturers eager to display the merits of their wares.Ĭonferences for every conceivable specialty abound. Conferences are where relationships are forged, ideas are explored, careers are advanced, research projects are conceived, information is exchanged and issues are debated. They also represent excellent opportunities to present the results of new research, while exploring issues ripe for additional investigation. Historically, medical conferences have functioned as forums for exploring new ideas, techniques, procedures and best practices. Depending on a physician’s specialty and schedule, he or she might feel motivated to attend two or more conferences in a given year. Medical conferences are eagerly anticipated annual events for many physicians. These satellite events will offer a comprehensive forum to further explore topics relevant to MICCAI.The History - And Future - Of Medical Conferences MICCAI 2016 will also include workshops, tutorials, and challenges on the days preceding and succeeding the conference.

The conference series includes three days of oral presentations and poster sessions. The annual MICCAI conference attracts world leading biomedical scientists, engineers, and clinicians from a wide range of disciplines associated with medical imaging and computer assisted intervention. MICCAI 2016 is organized in collaboration with Bogazici, Sabanci, and Istanbul Technical Universities. MICCAI 2016, the 19th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, will be held from October 17 th to 21 st, 2016 in Athens, Greece. We will be announcing further details and updating website content to reflect this change in upcoming weeks.
