NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
The medical device industry gathered last week in San Diego for AdvaMed’s The MedTech Conference. The four-day event brought together members from small startups to the largest companies in the sector.
MedTech Dive was on the ground, covering sessions on artificial intelligence and M&A, listening to CEO panels, and catching up with experts and companies across the medtech space. We also covered a press conference with AdvaMed CEO Scott Whitaker and a virtual event with Michelle Tarver, director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, and other medical device officials.
For today’s special edition newsletter, we have collected all of our coverage from AdvaMed’s annual meeting. If you’re already planning for 2026, check out our list of the top medtech conferences to attend next year.
