Learning & Knowledge is an on-going pursuit.
Beacon conducts and participates in events that are pertinent to the needs of our customers and the medical device industry. On July 19th, 2007, Beacon held its first technical conference in Providence, RI. Presentations focused on materials, package design, thermoforming, sterilization, regulatory issues and packaging system validation. Attendee feedback was very positive and plans for L&K II are already under way.

Beacon is committed to staying connected to the needs of the industry and continually striving to better serve the needs of our customers. New ideas were generated from L&K Providence that will help us build L&K II.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. If you’d like to help us customize our next L&K event to address your needs, or would like to sign up to learn more about our next L&K event, please click on the L&K II button above.
