The Medventions 2026 Fall Lecture Series is a hybrid (in-person and virtual) educational experience designed to empower the next generation of medtech innovators with the tools they need to drive real change in healthcare. This dynamic series explores the full journey of health technology innovation, from identifying and validating unmet clinical needs to designing novel medical technologies and planning for their successful implementation in patient care.
Each one-hour lecture is led by experts in the field and provides valuable insights into the medtech innovation process. Select sessions will also feature a 30-minute networking opportunity and a 90-minute hands-on workshop immediately following the lecture. These extended sessions are available exclusively to in-person attendees and include a light meal. Virtual participants will have access to the lecture portion only.
Whether you're a clinician, engineer, entrepreneur, or student, this series offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow at the intersection of medicine, technology, and innovation.
Note: You can register for individual lectures at $20 each or enroll in the full series for $500 to earn a micro-certificate. See registration options below for details.
