Patel MedTech Industry Trends, Insights and the Road Ahead: Business Evolution in the “Next” Normal The MedTech industry has relied on a tried and true playbook for many years – one that is focused on driving in person engagement for product knowledge, service and medical education. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the MedTech industry to innovate and transform very quickly, for some in a matter of weeks and others a matter of months – all by leveraging data. This digital transformation was part of a longer term plan that was accelerated by the pandemic. As we continue on our journey in the “next” normal, MedTech organizations are focused on driving value that aligns with the continuum of care. In this session, you will hear how industry trends and insights are generating commercial innovation and business transformation that not only empowers sales and marketing teams, but also connects the entire MedTech organizations with Providers, Payors and Patients in a data enabled and connected ecosystem.

What Our Members Say

“Networking with other HMMC members has been invaluable! This has benefited me personally in my leadership, my decision-making, and the ability to feel completely comfortable discussing with fellow members anything about my business. It is a group without judgment. It is a group of problem solvers, solution finders, and friends, lifelong friends. It is my safe place to be transparent about what I deal with in my business and know I'm with the best group of experts in our industry.”

Jan Beery Owner, KBK Communications
"As a new member of HMMC for the past year, I’ve come to quickly value the industry education, peer to peer knowledge sharing and perspective gained from leaders in the healthcare industry!”

Brian Vierra Senior Director of Sales, Medical Division Midmark
“When I first got into our industry, I looked at who worked best with distribution, and the answer was Midmark and Welch Allyn. They were members of HMMC and always attended the conferences. Two ultimate members of the Distribution Hall of Fame, one from each company told me that they thought HMMC would be good for me, and I would be good for it. I joined and have been a member ever since. Even I ended up in the Distribution Hall of Fame. Is there a correlation there? You tell me.”

Rob Saron SVP, Global Distribution, Symmetry Surgical®
"HMMC provides unique opportunities that allow me to strengthen my professional network and industry knowledge, while bringing valuable insights to help in my day-to-day career responsibilities.”

Tanya Coby, EDAC Integrated Marketing Manager, Medical Marketing Midmark
"We like to bring our sales and marketing leadership together to reflect and learn with other commercial leaders in the industry, and HMMC enables this through well thought out professional events."

Matt Bourne Chief Commercial Officer, Midmark
