Join them Wednesday, January 28 from 5:30PM to 8:00PM at Newport Beach, CA. Exact location and parking details will be shared with registered attendees prior to the event.
Hosted on the Newport Beach waterfront, this is not a panel or a pitch night. It’s a working session. You’ll sit with peers who understand the realities of device development, regulation, fundraising, and go-to-market—and leave with sharper thinking, real feedback, and next-step clarity.
Expect candid conversation, practical insight, and connections that extend well beyond the room.
