Expand Your Regulatory Intelligence

In an increasingly digital world, medical device regulators and regulatory professionals have more information than ever to help them identify adverse events and new indications. Combined with shifting U.S. and global regulatory requirements, the task of staying abreast of new requirements and data sources is becoming a Herculean task.

On May 16-17, device developers, regulators, and regulatory affairs and intelligence professionals will come together in Washington, DC, for two days of education, discussion and networking to share strategies and best practices on navigating current and on the horizon regulatory requirements.

The MedTech Regulatory Intelligence Summit offers sessions covering current and emerging FDA CDRH areas of focus as well as international medical device regulations and best practices in streamlining your pre-market and post-market surveillance processes. Speakers include:
