You may register to attend the meeting at www.fda.gov/cdrh/ocd/udi/ index.html. Seating is limited to 300 persons, and if capacity is reached, registration will close. If you register as a presenter or to participate in the vendor display, you do not need to also register as an attendee.

If you choose to participate in the vendor display, you will have the opportunity to share information about your products with the FDA and other attendees when they visit your display. Because of the format of the meeting, we will only have a short time for additional presentations. We encourage attendees to raise their issues and concerns during the discussion portion of the four main topic areas. We also encourage persons and groups having similar interests to consolidate their information and present it through a single representative. By October 16, 2006, we will schedule each presentation and, by e-mail or telephone, notify each participant who will present of the time allotted to the person and the approximate time the person’s presentation is scheduled to begin. The time allotted for presentations may be between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the number of people who wish to present.
