This event, scheduled for September 15 at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park, California, will gather industry leaders to discuss the evolving challenges and opportunities in the medtech sector.
The conference aims to address key issues such as capital discipline, AI integration, geopolitical uncertainties, and workforce challenges that are reshaping the operational landscape for medtech companies. Yvonne Bokelman, Executive Director of MedtechWOMEN, emphasized the importance of learning from successful navigators of these changes.
Featured speakers include Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, a physician and health advocate known for her impactful advocacy work, and Martha Aronson, CEO of Merit Medical Systems, who will share insights on leadership in complex healthcare environments. The event will also honor exemplary leaders through the Ferolyn Powell Leadership Award, recognizing those who embody integrity and innovation in the field.
With support from major industry sponsors and partner organizations, MedtechVISION 2026 aims to foster dialogue and networking among current and future medtech leaders. This initiative reflects MedtechWOMEN's commitment to promoting diversity and improving healthcare outcomes through leadership that mirrors the communities served.
