NSF Medical Devices Summit 2026

Join medical device experts in Hamburg

Medical device organizations are navigating changing regulatory expectations, increasing software and AI oversight, evolving standards and growing pressure to expand into new markets.

The NSF Medical Devices Summit 2026 brings together industry experts and manufacturers to explore how organizations are responding to these challenges in practice.

Through expert presentations, industry perspectives and peer discussion, the program examines topics including FDA inspections after QSIT, international market expansion, software and AI supplier management, U.S. submission readiness, platform technologies and the future IEC 60601/80601 standards landscape.

A day built around real industry challenges

The 2026 program combines regulatory expertise, manufacturer experience, and standards leadership across a range of topics affecting medical device organizations 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 learned 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.
