Innovation in Orthopedics is the topic of one of two Keynote Panel Discussions which boasts three surgeon panelists who aim to share perspective on what's working in orthopedics, what gaps remain and how orthopedic manufacturers can develop new, relevant products that solve problems and alleviate pressures for hospitals and ASCs.

The Surgeon Pod, sponsored by Elos Medtech, is exclusively staffed by surgeons with deep engineering, entrepreneurial and "get it done" backgrounds. The Surgeon Pod experience is ideal for executives, engineers, and regulatory staff seeking opportunities to speak one-on-one with surgeons.

Over the course of two days, surgeons will speak on the future of:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality
  • Digital Health and Wearables
  • Hospital and ASC Inventory Logistics
  • Orthobiologics in Trauma Procedures
  • Advanced Materials in Spine Surgery
  • Personalized Implants in Joint Replacement

OMTEC's Advisory Board, featuring representation from market leaders and key players DePuy Synthes, Zimmer Biomet, Stryker, Arthrex, Smith & Nephew and Medtronic, helps design conference sessions. "In addition to the impressive lineup of surgeons, several board members will be speaking alongside experts from Aesculap, Camber Spine, Corin USA and Orchid Orthopedic Solutions," says Carolyn LaWell, Chief Content Officer at ORTHOWORLD® Inc., the company that owns and organizes the conference.
