The Neurotech Industry Conference May 18th - A Must Attend Event

Posted by Zack Lynch

If you have ever found the information I post on Brain Waves to be valuable, then I highly recommend that you attend a conference I have been planning: The Neurotechnology Industry Investment and Business Conference to be held on May 18th in San Francisco. The NeuroInsights team has looked across the globe to bring you 40 of the leading doers and thinkers from across the neurotech landscape.

Investors, executives, entrepreneurs, and leading researchers involved in the development of new drugs, devices and diagnostics for the brain and nervous system are coming together to shape the future of their organization and the neurotechnology industry.

This market defining one-day conference features keynotes on state of the neurotech industry, cutting edge company presentations, and panel discussions on a comprehensive selection of neurotech topics of interest to biotech, medtech, and IT investors and executives.

• Learn who investing in neurotech and why
• What start ups are getting funded
• How are public neurotech companies stocks performing
• Learn in what markets devices are competing with pharma
• Hear how brain imaging and informatics impacting drug development
• Learn what venture and strategic investors are looking for
• Discover emerging technologies and companies
• Find out about new licensing and partnering opportunities
• Learn about translational research & funding opportunities

Hear about next generation treatments for Alzheimer’s, addiction, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, hearing loss, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, pain, Parkinson’s, stroke, schizophrenia, stroke, vision loss and other brain-related illnesses.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting session descriptions, speakers and other important information as it relates to the conference.
