Every Fall, The MedTech Conference becomes the center of the medtech universe — a place where ideas spark, partnerships form, and the conversations that redefine our industry truly come to life.
This year in San Diego, we saw it again and again: standing-room-only sessions on AI, global policy, and diagnostics innovation; voices from across the ecosystem asking tough questions and sharing new ideas. It’s the kind of energy that reminds you why we do what we do.
As we turn our sights to Boston in 2026, our goal is simple — to build on that momentum and craft another world-class program that reflects the issues shaping health care today and tomorrow.
The Power of Taking the Stage
When you organize a session at The MedTech Conference, you’re not just presenting a topic — you’re shaping the conversation for thousands of industry leaders. It’s a chance to:
- Share what you’ve learned and the impact you’re making.
- Connect your ideas with peers from around the world.
- Inspire the next wave of innovation in medtech.
Whether you’re driving regulatory progress, advancing patient access, or pioneering AI-powered solutions, your perspective matters.
What We’re Exploring for #MTC26
Our program committee is especially interested in proposals that bridge disciplines and connect ideas — because medtech’s future depends on collaboration. Some of the cross-cutting themes we’re eager to explore include:
- Artificial Intelligence and Automation
- Digital Health and Data Ethics
- Global Regulatory Perspectives
- Market Access and Innovation
- Sustainability in Manufacturing
- Diagnostics Innovation and Trends
- Health Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
- Hospital and Medtech Partnerships
We also welcome creative session formats that make the audience part of the dialogue — panels, fireside chats, and debates that get people thinking differently.
Inspiration from 2025
In San Diego, sessions like in the Real World: From Promise to Practice and Forging Alliances: Medtech, Patient Advocacy, and the Future of Policy stood out for the depth of their discussion and the diversity of their voices. That’s the kind of storytelling and insight we’re hoping to see again in Boston.
If you left #MTC25 with new ideas or questions still buzzing in your mind, now’s the time to turn them into something bigger.
Lead the Conversation at #MTC26
The Call for Sessions opens in early January 2026 — and we can’t wait to see what ideas you’ll bring forward. Because the conversations that change our industry don’t just happen at The MedTech Conference — they start here.
