The editors of DeviceTalks, MassDevice and Medical Design & Outsourcing will welcome attendees and identify event highlights.

Open the day with a 10-minute briefing exploring how engineers are preparing for the increasingly complex medical devices of the future.

Hear Larry Wood’s remarkable journey into medical device leadership in this opening conversation with Editorial Director Tom Salemi. Wood will share lessons from his career helping bring transformative heart repair technologies to patients and explain how those experiences inform his leadership at PROCEPT BioRobotics, which is advancing a more precise, personalized approach to treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

You've secured FDA approval for your innovative new device. Great! What's next? Hear how commercial-stage medical device companies are building markets for their novel devices.

This presentation explores how the OR is evolving from a collection of individual technologies into a connected clinical workspace. OR integration provides the foundation by bringing together and orchestrating information within the room, while spatial computing with Apple Vision Pro offers a new way to connect with that information, moving beyond fixed monitors toward a personalized, spatial workspace where relevant content can be positioned around the clinician at the point of care. The discussion also extends connectivity beyond information to people. Collaboration platforms create the potential for bidirectional communication with expert colleagues outside the operating room, enabling remote consultation, education, and collaboration while the surgical team remains connected to the clinical environment. The result is a vision for surgery in which the operating room is no longer an isolated physical space, but part of a broader connected ecosystem, linking clinical information, spatial visualization, and distributed expertise to support decision-making and collaboration.

Explore how a new generation of robotics companies is reshaping healthcare with more flexible, accessible and intelligent systems designed to expand the role of robotics inside and outside of the operating room.

Technology alone no longer creates competitive advantage. The MedTech companies that win will be those that become indispensable partners in helping healthcare organizations achieve meaningful clinical, operational, and financial outcomes.  Join Rupal Ayer of Solventum as he shares how Customer Success is helping Solventum become one of the industry's most customer-obsessed organizations by weaving commercial strategy around customer adoption, value realization, retention, and growth.

An expert in MedTech manufacturing and materials will offer a glimpse into the future manufacturing processes and materials of complex medical devices.

AI enables medical devices to perceive their environment, understand human behavior, interact directly with clinicians, and autonomously make decisions. But what happens when intelligence is permanently embedded into the machines we use to diagnose and treat patients? This panel brings together innovators working at the cutting edge of this spectrum—from autonomous surgical robotics and brain-computer interfaces to human perception and connected care.

Now in its 8th installment, the Women in MedTech Breakfast has become a cornerstone of the DeviceTalks experience—drawing 100+ director-level and above MedTech leaders. On December 1st, the tradition continues with time to connect and network with peers, followed by a panel discussion bringing together accomplished women executives to share powerful stories of taking risks, trusting their judgment, and leading with conviction when the stakes were high. The program continues with curated small-group breakout discussions led by senior leaders from Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and more. 7:15am            | Doors open 7:30 - 8:00am | Networking & Breakfast 8:00 - 8:05am | Welcome Address 8:05 - 8:35am | Panel Discussion 8:35 - 8:55am | Discussion Groups 8:55 - 9:00am | Group Photo With limited spots available, this is a ticket-required event. Open to all-access pass holders, speakers, and sponsors when selected online during pass registration.
