Welcome to San Diego and The MedTech Conference!

Over the next few days, you’ll be joined by more than 3,500 medtech leaders from 35 countries and 44 states — including over 1,600 CEOs, VPs, and senior executives — making this the largest and most impactful gathering of our industry that AdvaMed has ever hosted in the United States.

We meet at a time when medtech is navigating one of the most complex environments in its history. At the same time, innovation is accelerating faster than ever, with AI and digital health reshaping how we deliver solutions to patients. In this environment, AdvaMed is proud to stand with you as a champion for innovation, growth, and patient access. And now, more than ever, it is essential that we come together to align on strategy, strengthen our voice, and ensure patients remain at the heart of all we do.

That’s why this year’s conference theme, Medtech Redefines the Future of Health Care, feels especially meaningful. We designed this experience with you in mind:

• The Medtech Campus has expanded to spotlight hundreds of impressive medtech manufacturers and innovators, from start-ups to global leaders.
• Timely Medtech Education Program that delivers insights on the most pressing issues facing your business today — from reimbursement and regulatory alignment to AI, diagnostics, and digital health.
• Members are here in record numbers, demonstrating the strength and unity of our industry at a pivotal moment.

You’ll also meet more than 1,700 companies from across the sector, including our Presenting Sponsors — Abbott, BD, Dexcom, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Medtronic, Solventum, and Zimmer Biomet — and hundreds more companies represented across the Campus, sessions, and networking events.

A special thank you to our local partners, Biocom California and California Life Sciences, and to our conference co-chairs, Mick Farrell, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Resmed, and Lisa Earnhardt, EVP and Group President, Medical Devices, Abbott, who you will see and meet on stage during the conference.

Finally, thank you for registering and committing your time to be here. We know how valuable that time is, and we are committed to ensuring the experience delivers insights and connections you can take back to your organizations — because every conversation here ultimately advances what matters most: delivering better solutions and better outcomes for patients around the world.
