The MedTech Conference (formerly AdvaMed 2017) will be held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center on September 25-27, 2017. This is the global summit for medical technology industry leaders, and is the largest gathering of medical technology professionals in North America. This conference will bring representatives from over 1,000 companies in the industry for business development, innovative technology presentations, and an opportunity to network with policymakers, business executives and industry leaders.

Today we are happy to announce that The MedTech Conference will partner with the Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA) to make AdvaMed's annual conference an even more rewarding experience going forward.

MDMA is comprised of nearly 300 member companies that represent the innovative and entrepreneurial sector of the medical technology industry. MDMA's mission is to promote the public health and improve patient care through the advocacy of innovative, research-driven medical device technology.

At The MedTech Conference, many attendees visit the conference with one key goal: business development. We caught up with Innoblative Designs' CEO and Co-Founder, Tyler Wanke, to explore and showcase his organization's impressive business development success at The MedTech Conference with hopes of helping other companies find similar success, no matter what stage they may be.

The Digital MedTech Conference was held March 2nd in San Francisco, California. Not only were many of our attendees learning about digital health, but they were also getting digitally engaged by interacting via Twitter, using our conference hashtag, #DigitalMedTech.

In our final panel session of the day, Health Connections: Digitizing Consumers and Patients, we explored how technology innovation and convergence - wearables, in vivo diagnostics, mobile, and more - are driving a data revolution and delivering virtual care.

Following the lunch keynote session, we explored how new data streams, sophisticated analytics, and cutting-edge cognitive computing are enhancing and assisting decision-making in today’s digital health landscape during The Future of Health is Cognitive panel session.

During lunch, not only did attendees get to eat, but they also got to take part in our lunch keynote discussion: Evidation Health - A Startup Case Study in Innovation.

Following a conversation that touched heavily upon the need for better FDA regulation for digital health technologies was our regulatory panel session: Regulating at the Speed of Innovation - FDA Pre-Check for Software Development.

Our first panel session of the day, Disruption and Opportunity: The Future of Health Care is Now, explored how key challenges and trends in health care delivery are creating market opportunities for digital technologies and applications.

After throwing back a couple cups of coffee and some delicious pastries, our day started off with a powerful keynote address from Jessica Mega, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer at Verily Life Sciences (the health care arm of Google/Alphabet).
