LSI is my favorite medtech conference of the year. It is the most efficient way to connect with high-quality emerging medtech companies, large strategics, and the investors that fund these businesses, The logistics are flawless, enabling productive one-on-one meetings and quality networking events. It's a must-attend for me.

It is remarkable how quickly the LSI Emerging Medtech Summit has become THE premier event for medtech innovation on the calendar. No other event combines all of the key stakeholders in our industry segment. And no other event succeeds so well at facilitating substantive interactions among them - whether formally in talks, panels and fireside chats or spontaneously in the hallways or vistas overlooking the ocean. Bravo! See you next year.
