This a great opportunity to quickly expand your network with a burgeoning MedTech ecosystem and participate in a lively discussion with an engaging audience. The format of the discussion is fairly informal with discussions centered around 3 regulatory themes (Regulatory Strategy, Engaging with the FDA, and EU MDR and/or EUA related questions) with 2 SMEs. A facilitator will ask a question around each of these themes to get a discussion started with the SMEs and the floor subsequently is open for participants to ask follow-up questions. We typically have around 8-12 participants for any given meeting.
