I’m delighted by the medical device community we’ve built these past 6½ years.

How long is 6½ years? For me, it’s been this long, as young Zachary (left) and young Lucas (right) can attest.

You likely know by now we needed to relocate in light of LinkedIn’s decisions. For background, see “beat,” “destroyed,” “fate,” and “down.”

I heard a few hours ago I may not even be able to remove spam after it’s published. That would make our old neighborhood completely uninhabitable.

So, as a precaution, we’re gone.

How gone are we?

We’re so gone that I changed the name of the LinkedIn group,
From: Medical Devices Group
To: MedicalDevicesGroup.net (we moved!)

Our progress so far

I’m delighted with our first month of progress. We already have:

• Full question-and-answer functionality along with the ability to be notified(!) when someone leaves a comment;

• 793 archived questions and 18,302 answers;

• 40 accessible webinars (replays, slides, transcripts);

• Weekly announcements (opt-in required at https://medgroup.biz/stay); and,

• NEW TODAY! A full calendar of 89 upcoming medical device events!

Coming attractions

Very soon, you’ll also be able to:

• Access our jobs board;

• Search the entire database for questions and answers;

• Share posts on LinkedIn, Twitter, and email;

• Ask questions directly to our Medical Devices Group Advisors;

• Consult a “promotions” tab for member offers;

• Conduct a poll; and,

• More!

This is where you come in

I grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York, where my 1978-1989 mayor Ed Koch asked his tagline, “How’m I doin’?

If you have the time and inclination, tell me how I’m doin’ with this group transition. I’m hosting an online “town hall” next week, Wednesday, August 29, where I can hear your real-time feedback and requests so we can build our new home into something really great.

Here’s the link to join us: Join the Town Hall.
