Maurizio Vecchione
is our keynote speaker!
Two-time 10x alumnus Maurizio Vecchione joins us this year as our keynote. Why? Because each time he speaks he earns a standing ovation and leaves my audience in awe.
Maurizio reported directly to Bill Gates for more than seven years as Executive Vice President of Global Good & Research. His career spans 30+ years in climate technology, global and public health, with a deep focus on improving the lives of the world’s most vulnerable people.
I’m proud to call him my friend. If you’re unable to make the whole event, join us for his Tuesday evening keynote at least!

3-Hour Workshop: Reimbursement and Health Economics
Nic is going to change this one up this year. 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.

Click here to apply for one of the limited Fast Round spots. This is how a ‘Fast Round’ works:
It’ll be just you and Joe onstage, both sitting on bar stools.
Joe will ask questions, the kind he’d ask if he walked up to your trade show booth.
Joe won’t prepare in advance. In fact, the less he knows, the better.
Joe will start with this question: “So who are you and what do you do?”
Questions will flow naturally from there.
Joe may also ask (so be prepared): “Teach us something about your work (but not in any way self-promotional) that you believe the average guest in our audience may not know.”
If you choose to bring something onstage, it will be small enough for you to carry on and off the stage.
You’ll need to fill out a simple one-page template. During our time, we’ll project it onscreen to aid visual learners. It will also appear in show photographs (and can subsequently be used for your social media efforts).
It will be recorded and professionally edited for your later use, however you see fit.
It’ll be fun, casual, and a real crowd-pleaser. Starring you!
A sample Fast Round, below, with the balance here on YouTube. Should we feature you too?
(A modest additional charge assessed to cover production costs.)

Why Did FDA Reject Your Rationale for No Usability Testing?
If anyone can explain why, it’s Rob. He writes, “90% of usability testing submitted to the FDA is unacceptable and the root cause is simply a failure to understand the human factors process.”
And continues, “Unlike CE Marking technical files, the FDA does not require a usability engineering file for all products.
Instead, the FDA determines if usability testing is required based upon a comparison of your device’s user interface and a competitor’s user interface (i.e. predicate device user interface). If the user interface is identical, then usability testing may not be required.
Instead, your company should be able to write a rationale for not doing usability testing based upon equivalence with the predicate device. If there are differences in your user interface, you will need to provide use-related risk analysis (URRA), identify critical tasks, implement risk controls, and provide verification testing to demonstrate the effectiveness of the risk controls.
Even if your device is “easier to use” or “simpler”, you still need to provide the documentation to support this claim in your submission. The FDA also does not allow comparative claims in your marketing for 510(k) cleared devices. Comparative claims require the support of clinical data.”
Rob will show you the 10 steps to deliver what you need to FDA and proceed without nasty surprises.
The Perfect Prototype Doesn't Exist: Why Lean Prototyping Works Today
Ty will challenge the commonly held belief that a perfect prototype is necessary for success. Instead, we will explore the benefits of lean prototyping – a methodology that prioritizes speed, efficiency, and learning over perfection. Ty will dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding prototyping, and demonstrate how this approach can lead to quicker, more cost-effective development of medical devices.
