Our MedTech Innovation Series takes place once a month on Wednesday evenings. Doors open at 5:30pm, with the speaker beginning at 6:00pm. After the talk and Q&A session, complimentary food and drinks are provided, offering a great opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with others.
Events are held at the University of Southampton’s Highfield Campus, in Building 19 (The Auditory Implant Service), on the top floor.
The series is designed to bring together a wide range of perspectives on healthcare and medical technology. Unlike a traditional lecture series, these sessions are intentionally informal. Speakers are not expected to present detailed data. Instead, they share insights and experiences from their work.
We aim to build a welcoming community of clinicians, engineers, academics, and business professionals who are interested in developing a broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities in healthcare and MedTech.
