Early Bird registrations are now open! Both MedTech Europe members and non-members can benefit from a special fee, until 7 December.
The programme will be composed of plenary and parallel sessions – the latter diving deeper in the overall topics, as well as addressing the payer & regulator questions such as the IVD and MD regulations, procurement and digitalization.
Overall topics to be addressed include:

- Regulatory: we will explore the impact the IVD and MD regulations are starting to have on manufacturers and their supply chains.
- Digital development: gamification, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity will be the focus of this track.
- Business strategy: we will take the pulse of the industry on topics such as diagnostic information, value-based procurement and data privacy
