Register

The Arizona Technology Council’s MedTech Committee will be holding its August round-table virtually.

“Follow the yellow brick road – understanding FDA pathways to medical device marketing.”

For most Medical Device Innovators, the path to FDA approvals can be a journey that is filled with surprises and can be hard to navigate. In this session, seasoned veterans Neil O’Flaherty and Evan Phelps from Amin, Talati & Wasserman will share their knowledge to help you better understand FDA approval pathways.

This session will be informational to innovators, consumers, investors, and providers.

In addition, this year we will have an Innovators Innovation Pitch, allowing the audience to hear about local up and coming MedTech innovations. The audience will be encouraged to provide confidential and constructive feedback to the innovator following the presentation.
