Overview – NSF Medical Device Summit 2026

November 12, 2026 | Saalhaus, Hamburg, Germany

A day built around real industry challenges

The 2026 programme combines regulatory expertise, manufacturer experience, and standards leadership across a range of topics affecting medical device organisations today.

Sessions explore how manufacturers are responding to changing FDA inspection expectations, evaluating opportunities beyond established markets, managing software and AI suppliers, preparing products for U.S. submission, and planning for future developments in the IEC 60601/80601standards series.

Industry speakers will also share lessons learnt from expanding into international markets and managing the realities of implementation once strategic decisions have been made.

The goal is not simply to present regulatory updates, but to provide context, experience and practical perspectives that help attendees better understand the challenges facing the industry.
