ORTHOWORLD® Inc. is excited to announce that registration is now open for OMTEC 2026, the Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference, entering its 20th year. Over the past two decades, OMTEC has established itself as the only conference exclusively dedicated to the orthopedic manufacturing community by educating, connecting and empowering the people who build orthopedic products. As the industry’s most important annual forum for R&D groups, sourcing teams, and executive leadership, OMTEC provides a concentrated environment where OEM decision-makers can meet suppliers, discover new partners, and explore the latest advancements — all under one roof.
But beyond the exhibit hall and technology showcases, a central strength of OMTEC is its guiding leadership — the OEM and Exhibitor Advisory Boards — whose insight helps shape the agenda and overall experience. As complexity grows across orthopedic device commercialization, these boards help ensure OMTEC stays aligned with real-world needs.
Celebrating New Advisory Leadership for 2026
OMTEC welcomes several new members while also honoring the dedicated leaders who continue to serve, ensuring continuity, depth of knowledge and a strong vision for OMTEC’s future.
Newly appointed OEM Advisory Board members:
- Justin Coppes, Senior Group Manager, R&D — Johnson & Johnson MedTech
- Julien Prevost, Director of R&D — Medtronic
- Bobby Nandi, Vice President of Operations — OrthAlign
- Mark Morrison, Research Director — Smith+Nephew
- Gracey Prater Forrester, Global Category Manager — Smith+Nephew
- Jennifer Moore, Senior Principal Engineer — VB Spine
- John Manning, Director of Sourcing — Zimmer Biomet
This blend of new and returning leadership ensures that OMTEC’s OEM Advisory Board reflects a broad and balanced range of professional expertise and industry representation. Collectively, their perspectives will shape OMTEC education sessions, exhibitor selection and networking events to address evolving industry challenges.
To ensure suppliers’ needs are equally well represented, the Exhibitor Advisory Board is welcoming new leaders to its ranks.
New members include:
- Arden Hadwin, CEO — Komet Medical USA
- Francesco Bucciotti, Head Global Business & Business Development — Lincotek Medical
- Jenn Goff, Chief Commercial Officer — Packaging Compliance Labs
- Erin House, Marketing Manager — Orchid Orthopedic Solutions
The Exhibitor Board’s role is to critique and guide the exhibitor experience — from pre-show logistics to onsite execution and post-event follow-up — to ensure that exhibitors and OEM attendees alike derive maximum value from OMTEC. This balance between OEM demand and supplier capability is a core strength of OMTEC’s design.
