The panel recruitment for RESI JPM, taking place in-person on January 9, 2024, has exceeded our expectations, and we are happy to announce the full lineup of the Medical Devices Investors Panel. This popular RESI panel will host an insightful conversation on forward-looking trends in medical device innovations. The participating panelists are a diverse and international representation of speakers at this RESI. By bringing together active investors and strategics with various backgrounds, RESI aims to bridge the gap between investors and fundraising entrepreneurs, fostering a platform for open communications between the buy side and sell side.

In addition to the Medical Device Panel, LSN’s investor research team has curated a program of panels, covering a wide range of topics highly relevant to early-stage life science and healthcare innovators. Each panel will feature active investors and key strategic partners to share their knowledge based on extensive industry experiences.

Some of the panels will explore various sectors of interest, such as therapeutics, or emerging areas like mental and behavioral health. Speakers will discuss their insights on the investment landscape, future trends, and opportunities specific to these sectors or indication areas. Other panels are geared towards distinct types of industry players or investment groups that play an important strategic role in the ecosystem, such as large pharmaceutical companies, health system partners, and cross-border investment groups. These panels will delve into the strategic roles these organizations play within the ecosystem, what they are looking for in the sector, things to consider, and how companies can partner with groups like themselves.
