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.

3-Hour Workshop: Essentials for Medical Device Marketing Success

If you or members of your team work in the marketing of medical devices, we heartily recommend you take this 3-hour workshop with Joe Hage, veteran medical device marketing expert, leader of the Medical Devices Group at MedicalDevicesGroup.net, and host of the family of 10x Medical Device events.”

If you leave the session without a different mindset about how to approach your medical device marketing in this day and age, then we’ve done something really, really wrong.

Bonus! At the end of the workshop, interested registrants will have the option to get a one-on-one hour-long consultation for just $100.

Concentrated Consulting

Something we did with much success last year: Invited two audience members in front of the room to discuss their greatest challenges. The audience, filled with experts in every discipline, gave their thoughts with lots of “have you considered…” and “I know someone you should meet. Talk with me later.”

You know, family stuff. 😇

Program Ends (kind of)

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!
