About this event
Medical robotics is no longer a niche topic reserved for labs and operating rooms. It is actively reshaping how surgery is performed, how rehabilitation is delivered, and how patient care is designed across the healthcare system. If you want a grounded, in-person conversation about where this field is going and what it means in practice, this event brings the right themes together in one room. About the Event This in-person gathering focuses on the fast-evolving world of medical robotics, with a practical lens on three major areas: advancing surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care. The goal is to create a space where people interested in robotics and healthcare can explore how robotic technologies are moving from research and development into real clinical and care environments. Expect a community-driven event that combines learning, discussion, and networking. Whether your interest is technical, clinical, entrepreneurial, academic, or simply driven by curiosity about the future of healthcare, the event is designed to help you better understand the landscape and meet others thinking seriously about the same questions. Because the topic spans multiple domains, the value of the event is in the overlap: robotics experts can hear more about care delivery realities, healthcare-focused attendees can get closer to current robotics thinking, and everyone benefits from seeing how innovation in one area influences the others. What to Expect The event begins on Wednesday, October 22 at 4:00 PM EDT and is structured as an in-person experience where conversation matters as much as content. You should expect a format that supports both focused exploration of the topic and meaningful connection with other attendees. Themes likely to anchor the discussion include: Surgical robotics and how robotic systems are changing precision, workflow, and decision-making in medical settings Rehabilitation robotics and the role of assistive and adaptive technologies in patient recovery and mobility support Patient care applications where robotics can improve consistency, efficiency, monitoring, and the care experience Cross-disciplinary collaboration between robotics builders, clinicians, researchers, and the broader innovation community This is also a strong setting for peer exchange. You may find yourself discussing not just what robotics can do, but what it takes to make these tools useful, adoptable, and relevant in real environments. That includes questions around implementation, usability, care pathways, and how innovation translates from concept to impact. In addition to topic-focused discussion, the event carries a clear community and networking dimension. That means there is real value in coming prepared to introduce yourself, share what you are working on, and ask thoughtful questions. The people in the room are likely to span different perspectives, which makes informal conversations especially useful. Why Attend If you care about where healthcare is headed, this event offers a focused way to understand one of its most important enabling technologies. Medical robotics sits at the intersection of engineering, human-centered design, clinical need, and system-level change. Seeing those pieces together helps you move beyond headlines and into more useful, practical understanding. You should attend if you want to: Get a clearer picture of how robotics is being applied across surgery, rehabilitation, and patient care Learn from a community interested in both technical innovation and real-world healthcare outcomes Meet people working across robotics, medicine, research, and related fields Build context for future collaborations, projects, partnerships, or career directions Expand your network in a room shaped by shared interest rather than generic industry noise There is also value in the event’s breadth. Many people understand only one slice of medical robotics at a time, but progress often comes from connecting adjacent ideas. A conversation about surgical tools can raise questions relevant to rehabilitation. A patient care discussion can shift how you think about system design or usability. That cross-pollination is where events like this become especially productive. Practical Details This is an in-person event taking place at CRIM in Montréal, Canada. If being physically present matters to how you learn and connect, this format is a strong fit: it allows for more direct conversation, easier introductions, and better networking than a purely online session.

In-person events focused on a specialized topic often create their best moments before and after the main programming, when people have space to compare ideas, ask direct questions, and discover common ground.
