Some of the highlights of the show include:

● Panel experts identify which programs and regulations have made the biggest impact on their businesses and the industry.

● Turn to experts to answer questions and learn how to apply and implement medical device regulations.

● Educating and training companies on the importance of regulations is critical to help them navigate all the changes in the medical device industry.

● Medical device startups need to identify what is non-negotiable to build a culture of quality and train employees.

● A quality system is set up for a reason. Companies should focus on making products that they’re proud of and help patients.

● Biggest mistake is when inventor puts technology before patients: Who am I making it for? What do they want? What does it have to do? How to deliver it?
