Whether you’re looking to master regulatory strategies, drive innovation, or scale your business, you’ll leave this event inspired and equipped with the tools and connections to make it happen.

3-Hour Workshop: Today's Health Economics and Reimbursement Landscape
Nic is going to change this one up this year. Teaming up with April Zambelli-Weiner, he’ll still spend a few minutes laying the basis of how healthcare really works in the USA but this year he’s going to spend more time with each of you discussing the real-world implications of coding and coverage of your device/diagnostic.

(Optional)

3-Hour Workshop: Essentials for Medical Device Marketing Success

Event Concludes
It’s true, the two day-long program has concluded. But the new relationships you formed are just beginning! If you go back to work and don’t keep in touch with the people you met, well, why’d you come in the first place? Go. Cement relationships. Build your network of medical device professionals on whom you can rely. Many of today’s guests hail from my most trusted MDG Premium network. We meet weekly. Perhaps joining us is a good place to start. You can join us at

MDG Premium here. And if you attended, I probably gave you a secret code for a discount. 🙂 You’re a 10x alumnus now! You can call me anytime, for anything. I’m happy to know you.

Keep in touch!
