With Canada Day approaching, as a Medtech Conference veteran and previous host country for the conference, I’d like to share a Canadian’s perspective on why this conference is a can’t -miss event.
In a time of rapid health care innovation and shifting global policy, medtech companies are reassessing their growth strategies. At the same time, given its importance to healthcare and economic development, countries like Canada and beyond are putting an increased focus on strengthening medtech ecosystems within their counties—an important and exciting evolution. Yet even with this renewed local emphasis, reaching global markets remains essential. For many medtech companies, commercializing innovation across borders is still key to long-term success and patient impact worldwide. That’s why this year’s MedTech Conference, hosted by AdvaMed, The Medtech Association, in partnership with host partner Medtech Canada, is more important than ever.
This year’s conference gives you and your company one-stop access to key conversations that are changing the face of health care. Taking place October 5-8, 2025 in San Diego, California, #MTC25 will bring together more than 4,000 international medtech leaders from over 40 countries for four powerful days of timely education, high-impact networking, company showcases, and opportunities to accelerate business development across borders. This event is the most efficient way to fast track your business and boost global market share.
