Creating Value Across the Medical Device Lifecycle
10-11 March 2027 in Brussels & Online
Join international experts, healthcare professionals and key stakeholders for two days of knowledge sharing, discussion and collaboration around value creation across the medical device lifecycle.
From innovation and development to market access, reimbursement, patient access and real-world outcomes, the ICEPS 2027 Conference will explore how evidence and collaboration can support better decisions and ultimately improve outcomes for patients
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The ICEPS 2027 Conference will bring together international experts and stakeholders from across the medical device ecosystem to explore this year’s theme:
Creating Value Across the Medical Device Lifecycle
Creating value goes beyond bringing an innovative medical device to market. It requires the right evidence, perspectives and decisions throughout the entire lifecycle — from innovation and clinical development to regulatory strategy, Health Technology Assessment (HTA), Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR), reimbursement, patient access and real-world outcomes.
Over two days, the conference will provide a collaborative forum to share experience, discuss evolving challenges and explore how evidence can support better decision-making and ultimately deliver meaningful value for patients and healthcare systems.
