MedTech World heads to North America with first flagship US event in West Palm Beach

MedTech World is heading to North America this May, marking a major milestone with its first full-scale flagship event in the United States. From 11 to 13 May 2026, the global MedTech platform will bring its signature three-day experience to Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida, convening innovators, investors, industry leaders, and decision-makers for focused discussions, meaningful connections, and practical collaboration.

MedTech World North America | West Palm Beach 2026 is designed as a comprehensive gathering for the MedTech ecosystem. Across three days, attendees can expect a well-balanced programme that combines high-quality content, expert speakers, startup pitches, company showcases, closed-door networking forums, curated investor interactions, and select cultural experiences that reflect the host city. From structured deal-making opportunities to informal conversations that continue beyond the conference floor, the event aims to create space for progress at every level.

Why Florida, Why West Palm Beach

Florida has rapidly positioned itself as one of the most dynamic life sciences and manufacturing hubs in the United States. Ranking second nationally for medical device manufacturing and pharmaceutical output, the state is home to more than 2,000 life sciences companies, spanning MedTech, biotech, diagnostics, and digital health. Its supportive business climate, expanding talent base, and growing investor presence make it an increasingly attractive destination for both US-based and international companies.

Hosting the event at Hilton West Palm Beach places MedTech World within a well-connected innovation corridor at the heart of Florida’s expanding healthcare and life sciences ecosystem. The location offers a strong setting for collaboration, bringing together MedTech leaders, investors, and decision-makers in an environment that supports focused discussion, partnership-building, and long-term growth.

A curated experience beyond the conference hall

Speaking about the upcoming event, Dr Dylan Attard, CEO and Co-Founder of MedTech World, highlighted the intention behind the programme:

“At MedTech World, we focus on offering a complete experience for our attendees. Deal-making, visibility, and meaningful conversations sit alongside cultural and social elements that allow relationships to develop naturally. This event is about connecting investors with innovators in a setting that is carefully curated to individual needs, through exclusive forums and targeted interactions.”

That approach is reflected throughout the agenda. In addition to the main conference sessions, the programme includes CEO-only and Investor-only forums on 11 May, creating an environment for open discussion without pressure, distractions, or external noise. These closed-door conversations are designed for leaders who want to address real challenges, exchange practical insights, and engage with peers who are actively building and backing solutions.

Exclusive experiences and private gatherings

MedTech World North America will also feature a series of invite-only events aimed at fostering deeper engagement:

An exclusive luncheon on 12 May, hosted by CS Life Sciences and Blue Goat Cyber, bringing together select leaders, investors, and partners for focused discussion.

The event will also recognise leaders driving progress across the industry through the MedTech World Awards, taking place on 11 May. Award recipients will be selected through public voting, ensuring the recognition reflects the voices and priorities of the wider MedTech community.

Content that matters to the market

The conference agenda is shaped around themes that address both current challenges and near-term opportunities in MedTech. Sessions will offer practical guidance for companies looking to enter or scale in the US market, with discussions covering regulatory pathways, reimbursement considerations, and commercial strategy, particularly relevant for startups and scale-ups headquartered outside the United States.

The programme will also examine emerging areas within women’s health, moving beyond traditional focus areas to address unmet clinical needs and evolving device categories. Additional conversations will look at alternative sources of capital in MedTech, including the growing role of family offices and long-term investors, as well as the dynamics of Florida’s MedTech ecosystem, highlighting regional capabilities, collaboration opportunities, and avenues for growth. These sit alongside a wider set of discussions spanning innovation, clinical adoption, partnerships, and scale-up strategy, reflecting the breadth of perspectives present at MedTech World North America. Together, the agenda is designed to give investors, founders, and industry stakeholders a clearer perspective on where value is being built and how to engage with it.
