We introduced a new feature at our last 10x Medical Device Conference where we gave 20 guests three minutes each to introduce themselves.

For today’s discussion, I invite you to leave a comment to introduce yourself (virtually) to the Medical Devices Group. I’ve left the first comment to give you an idea what you might write.
