Early bird pricing for the 16th Annual Medical Device Quality Congress ends on March 22.

One used to know a medical device when one saw it. Maybe it was implantable … even swallowable … maybe it plugged into a wall. But always, it was a thing. A thing the FDA could regulate.

Now a device might be some other thing that's been repurposed. It might be dedicated software … or a software sub-routine … or even a mere idea. Not a thing at all.

How does the FDA regulate that?

Well, the FDA is trying. And the agency's early efforts are reason enough to come to Washington April 23-25 for the

16th Annual Medical Device Quality Congress

The Congress is the device-a-palooza where attendees discover — definitively — what the FDA has up its sleeve.

The Congress is the devicemaker event of the year … and it comes along only once each year. Miss it … and one misses out.

This year? It's a doozy.

Driven by sea changes in technology, data, discoveries, patient pressure, public-private partnerships and more — not to mention the tectonic shift in regulatory philosophy under Dr. Scott Gottlieb, Donald Trump's hand-picked FDA chief — the agency has sent quality regulation back to the drawing board.

Redefining 'medical device' … reorganizing CDRH … loosening up pre-market submissions … putting digital health on the fast(er) track … the FDA Program Alignment Plan … public-private partnerships … … dealing with the data revolution … device remanufacturing … it's big-picture stuff attendees need to know.

We get into the weeds too with timely assistance on quality audits, cybersecurity, product recalls and more. Add on the half-day Pre-Conference Workshop on Correction and Corrective Action and start off Congress Week with a bang.

(And for more of the Big Picture, stick around Thursday for the full-day Post-Conference Workshop, "Post-Market Activities in the EU-MDR".)

Attendees will learn from the best. Conference chair Steven Niedelman Esq., now in private practice, used to serve as Chief Operating Officer, FDA ORA. He heads an all-star list of top agency officials, speaking candidly on regulatory dilemmas even as they dish on regulatory plans … the cream of the Washington FDA bar, doling out free legal advice worth tens of thousands of dollars … experts from the private sector, sharing latest innovations … consultants with deep technical expertise, untangling knotty problems.

This year we've selected the Bethesda Marriott North Hotel & Conference Center for our venue. Its location is ideal – halfway between FDA headquarters and the bustle of the nation's capital.

Why not plan on making a weekend of it?

Now is the moment to sign up. Attendees will enjoy Special early-bird discounts worth up to $450 off regular fees. The early-bird deadline is March 22, 2019.

Whatever one does though, be sure to mark a calendar for April 23-25. Even if one attends nothing else during 2019, the 16th Annual Medical Device Quality Congress is the one attendees dare not miss.
