About the venue
When this listing was first verified on 15 July 2026, AdvaMed’s own pages stated the city and dates only, and we said so rather than repeating a venue from third-party sites. On 16 July, AdvaMed’s conference FAQ named the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, so the venue above now comes from the organizer’s own page — the only kind of source this directory repeats.
Who should attend
AdvaMed’s own rate card says who this meeting is for: it prices tiers for start-ups under $1M revenue through large medtech above $100M, service providers, and government, hospital, non-profit and academic attendees — with investors and hospital executives attending free. That is a business-development meeting with a regulatory track, not a regulatory meeting: regulatory and quality professionals in medtech get the most from it when their remit includes partnerships, market strategy or policy exposure rather than submissions alone.
