Tuesday was another inspiring day at #MTC26! From dozens of company presentations and tech demos to innovative solutions showcased and CEOs taking the stage, the momentum continues!
Highlights included a visit from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a keynote conversation with Bank of America Chairman and CEO Brian Moynihan and Medtronic Chairman and CEO Geoff Martha, the NextGen Robotics Challenge, discussions on global harmonization, the CMS Town Hall, and powerful patient stories.
We also welcomed former AdvaMed Chairman Mike Minogue for a special conversation reflecting on his leadership and the future of medtech.
Thank you to the many executives, innovators, and industry leaders who joined us.
And congratulations to our #MTC26 and AdvaMed award winners! We’re proud to celebrate the people moving medtech forward.
