SAN FRANCISCO − Early arrivals to this year's addition of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference at the Westin St. Francis Hotel were treated to something that would soon be in short supply . . . elbow room. This reporter was certainly envious when Managing Director Kevin Willsey noted that the first meeting back in 1983 had less than 100 attendees. This year's addition of what is arguably the preeminent conference in the healthcare sector had more than 8,500 registered attendees. (Medical Device Daily)
