Each year, The MedTech Conference and AdvaMed selects a host region known for its thriving innovation industry. In 2025, we’re excited to announce San Diego, California, as our destination from October 5–8. As Co-chair of the Host & Local Committee and longtime member of the California health care community, I’ve had a front-row seat to the energy, breakthroughs, and partnerships that happen here every day.

Why California Leads in Life-Changing Technology

With the largest medtech market in the U.S., California boasts a $32.6 billion economic footprint and a thriving ecosystem of startups, global leaders, and investors making it the ideal home for four days of education and networking. From digital health technologies in Silicon Valley to diagnostics labs in Irvine, and next-gen innovators at leading research institutions, California serves as a hub for transformative medtech companies shaping the future of health care.

This critical and timely conference provides emerging companies and startups direct access to industry leaders actively looking for the next big breakthrough. California’s deep bench of investors, universities, solution providers, and strategic partners makes this event the perfect opportunity for early-stage companies to reach the right connections that can transform your business. In addition to business development, #MedTechCon captures the pulse of the industry with a timely program that covers AI in medtech, regulatory and reimbursement pathways, supply chain trends, M&A outlook, and more.
