Why We're Heading to Barcelona, Spain for LSI Europe '23

Yesterday, we officially announced that #LSIEurope23 will be hosted at the Hotel Arts Barcelona | The Ritz-Carlton from September 18 - 22. The interest has already been beyond our expectations, so contact our team to secure your room before we sell out.

Part of why we are so excited is because the decision to bring the event to Barcelona was not made lightly. We considered many amazing properties and cities across Europe and spent countless hours researching and evaluating each location. My team has joked that I'm going to be jet-lagged until September with all the back-and-forth flights for site visits.

I can proudly say the time and travel were 100% worth it.

Barcelona has an irresistible charm, rich culture, and a thriving medtech industry, and the Hotel Arts is the perfect property for this event.

In this piece, I share some of the exciting reasons that we believe this property and city will make #LSIEurope23 the hub for medtech's global leaders to build relationships and accelerate their growth.

The Property

When looking at properties, there were four main considerations.

  • We've received tremendous support and encouragement to continue hosting events in Europe, and so we needed a property that could accommodate the skyrocketing increase in attendees from presenting companies, investors, and strategics.
  • We're committed to providing the 5-star experience that the LSI community deserves from our events, and we wouldn't settle for less.
  • LSI Europe is not a trade show. Our partnering events are designed to facilitate personalized networking, true relationship-building, and small-group meetings. The property we select must support those things too.
  • We're launching an unparalleled media package for the presenters, panelists, and sponsors in our community, and need a property that can accommodate our highly technical media teams and presenter program.

After looking at many incredible properties, the Hotel Arts Barcelona | The Ritz-Carlton stands tall above the rest (literally, it towers 44 floors above the sea).

The iconic, 5-star resort has been the site of many dynamic, entertaining, and professional events, from corporate meetings to private celebrations and more.

The City

Located on the Mediterranean coast in northeastern Spain, Barcelona is known for its stunning architecture, world-class museums, vibrant arts scene, incredible restaurants, and beautiful beaches.

Its also home to a number of top-ranked hospitals, leading research institutions, and a well-developed business infrastructure, making it a hub for medical innovation and technology.

The best of both worlds? We thought so.

In speaking with our community, we heard loud and clear that Barcelona would be a top-choice city. After exploring it myself, I saw why.

We have no doubt that our community will enjoy extending their stay and exploring all Barcelona has to offer, including:

  • Stunning architecture, like the works of Antoni Gaudí such as the Sagrada Família and Park Güell.
  • World-class museums, including the Picasso Museum and the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.
  • Excellent food, with a wide variety of restaurants serving everything from traditional Catalan cuisine to international fare.
  • Beautiful beaches, with a number of sandy spots located along the Mediterranean coast.

Follow #LSIEurope23 and join us in September!

So very well said Scott. It’s an amazing venue in an amazing city for our innovator and investment partners. There has been buzz in anticipation for a couple of weeks and that exploded yesterday! I am happy to hear the property has room for growth because we are going to need the space in years to come. Very exciting. Tapas and sangria on me!

It's a tall order to find a venue that can support the partnering experience, media, and 5-star accommodations that we look for. To find it all in a city as amazing as Barcelona is insane. Can't wait for this event!
