RoboBusiness & DeviceTalks West 2024 Show Guide by WTWH Media LLC

WELCOME TO ROBOBUSINESS!

Welcome to Silicon Valley, one of the world’s leading robotics clusters. We’re excited to have you at RoboBusiness for two days of innovation, collaboration, and collective learning to move the robotics industry forward.

Whether you’re a seasoned expert or just starting your journey in robotics, we’re thrilled to bring together such a passionate group of professionals, engineers, investors, and innovators.

First, a big thank you to our sponsors for their support and commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics. This event isn’t possible without you!

Attendees can explore our expo floor, where 90 exhibitors are showcasing the latest in robotics technology, tools, and services. New features on the show floor this year include the Formant Demo Zone (Booth 717) and a Startup Showcase highlighting innovative startup companies.

There’s also the Engineering Theater, where all attendees can take in live discussions about enabling technologies, applications, business models, and more.

Don’t miss our networking events - from casual breaks and evening receptions to a Women in Robotics Luncheon – perfect for meeting fellow

attendees, making connections, and exchanging ideas that could spark your next big project.

We hope you capitalize on the learning happening during the keynotes and panel discussions. We have more than 70 experts on our stages sharing their robotics development experience.

RoboBusiness offers a unique opportunity to see industry leaders, learn about the challenges and opportunities facing robotics development, and come away with fresh insights for your own work.

We will be posting pictures and videos on all of our social media channels. Be sure to follow along and share your experiences by using #ROBOBIZ24.

Thanks again for being at RoboBusiness. We can’t wait to see what we all accomplish together!

THANK YOU SPONSORS

PRESENTING SPONSOR

REGISTRATION SPONSOR

WELCOME TO DEVICETALKS WEST!

This year’s agenda is a bit different from our past DeviceTalks events. Rather than focus on the stage of medical device developmentproduct design, manufacturing, etc. - we’ve centered our tracks on some of the more fascinating and promising spaces within MedTech.

Over the next two days, you’ll hear leaders representing Connected Health, Interventional Devices, Neurotech Tools, Structural Heart, Surgical Robotics, and Women’s Health.

We’ll be hitting upon these themes in five keynotes - three on Day 1, two on Day 2 - as well as our individual track rooms.

We’re digging deep.

To keep track of these tracks (forgive me), just grab the QR code inside this program and follow the links to explore these amazing areas.

A few other tips -

• Ask questions. We built time for Q&A into most of our sessions. In most rooms, our editors will be on hand to help facilitate.

• Follow up with speakers after each session. We’ll have 15 minutes in between each session for you to come up and share your story.

• Take advantage of networking time - We’ve got a building filled with great medical device folks - in the rooms, the halls, on our exhibit floor. Don’t wait for people to come to you. Go get it.

Finally, please say hello to me and our DeviceTalks Team - Kayleen Brown and Emira Wininger - as well as MassDevice’s Chris Newmarker.

Meeting you will be the best part of our conference.

Go MedTech,
