Woohoo! #LSIUSA24 is in the books. Another fantastic event that I want to reflect on: 1. The keynote from Dr. Catherine Mohr was fantastic. Post-event I’ve listened to her keynote twice now. Her focus on using data to identify wicked problems was fascinating. Her time spent speaking to the importance of exponentially scaling skill-based training was great too. If you haven't already, give her address a listen and think about the impact that tackling these types of wicked problems will yield. 2. This year, I experienced the event from the perspective of a service provider. It was great getting to talk with future market intel customers about the diverse ways in which we can further support the medtech ecosystem beyond LSI’s partnering events. Kudos to all the service providers out there. I've a newfound appreciation for what you do. When the focus of the event is cultivating strategic partnerships and connecting with potential investors, you’re offering solutions that enhance the fruitfulness of those conversations around raising capital and building innovative companies. I appreciate Zach Labrecque’s leadership and adaptability when it came to the 25+ meetings we tackled throughout the event. I loved the LSI Market Intelligence business pod. The space created a lot of organic opportunities to evangelize because so many people thought that the “Reserved” sign must have been for them. 😉 3. Shout out to the LSI bizdev team. They did an incredible job identifying new innovators and bringing them to the LSI stage. As the person responsible for categorizing and briefly describing the 300+ presenters at this event, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about so many companies that I’ve never heard of. I also want to congratulate Scott Pantel, Henry Peck and the entire events team for putting on an incredible meeting. As always, great to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones. Hope to do it again very soon. P.S. Shoutout to the real ones who were grinding it at the gym at 5AM every day. Bhavesh Barot, Karen Cross, and others. It’s great to see people making time amidst everything going on at the event to get a good pump session going. 💪
Great getting to spend some time with you Nicholas Talamantes 💪😊
