American Medical Device Summit 2026

The event takes place at Renaissance Schaumburg in Chicago, IL.

The summit brings together MedTech leaders and executives from major medical device companies including Abbott, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Stryker, GE HealthCare, and Siemens Healthineers.

Senior vice presidents, C-suite executives, and chief compliance officers from medical device manufacturers, suppliers, and healthcare companies.

It is most useful for senior MedTech executives in quality, compliance and clinical leadership, since the speakers hold titles such as SVP at Philips, CMO at Accuray and Chief Compliance Officer at Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and the attendee list includes large manufacturers like Medtronic, Stryker and Abbott. Early-career engineers, small startups and suppliers hoping for a broad exhibit hall will likely get less from a leadership-level gathering of this kind, and the Schaumburg venue near Chicago suits a focused two-day executive meeting more than a large trade show.

Attendees at MedTech executive conferences usually wear business attire, with suits or blazers and dress shirts common and ties optional.
