The pace of orthopedic innovation must accelerate for the industry to meet the rapidly growing demand for new technologies while providing the best possible outcomes for patients. As orthopedics evolves, it becomes more difficult to identify truly consequential challenges and opportunities.

What current solutions have peaked in effectiveness? What new technologies are fads? Companies that prioritize patient-focused innovation and convention-breaking solutions will remain competitive in the future.

The OMTEC keynote brings unique perspectives from surgeon entrepreneurs with vast clinical experience and demonstrated success in the executive suite. Their discussion will provide attendees insight into what pressures are driving orthopedic innovation, what unmet clinical needs represent the largest future growth opportunities, ways to implement hard-won lessons in leadership and why companies must shift their current thinking to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

A breakfast buffet will be served at 7:30 a.m. in the keynote room.
