This two-day conference offers an exclusive forum for neurotechnology executives and entrepreneurs to interact with investors, technologists, and potential partners who are actively working to grow this new and exciting industry. The schedule of presentations and panel discussions features a host of experts with a wealth of information on the neurotechnology industry and the investment community.

Sessions will cover a range of technologies and market segments in the neuro space, including neuromodulation, neural prostheses, neurodiagnostics, and neurostimulation. Attendees will hear from some of the leading researchers and entrepreneurs developing clinically and commercially promising products such as cochlear implants, stroke rehabilitation devices, implanted pain stimulators, neural-computer interfaces, and advanced brain sensing technologies.

The first day of the conference features three intensive courses for neurotechnology professionals, one devoted to fundamentals of the technology, another to neurotechnology market fundamentals, and a third to neurotech drug/device combination therapies. There will also be a an interactive program with disability leaders representing several segments of the neurological disorders community.

The second day of the conference features a keynote address by Ali Rezai, M.D., Director of the Center for Neurological Restoration at the Cleveland Clinic, and one of the pioneers of beep brain stimulation surgery. There will also be panel discussions on key issues affecting the industry, such as reimbursement issues, licensing, and other commercialization factors. The conference will wrap up with a panel discussion featuring representatives of some of the leading venture capital firms active in the neuro space. The panelists will discuss critical issues such as the relative strengths and weaknesses of devices and bio/pharma approaches to neurological disorders, the current investment climate in the neuro space, and factors in obtaining funding for neurotechnology startups.

The forum will also feature presentations from several early-stage neurotechnology firms covering a range of product and technology areas.
