An Experience Like No Other
MedCon 2026 is hosted by the AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative, and we are thrilled to convene this April in Columbus, Ohio, for four exciting days! Join us to experience:



“It was my first time attending MedCon, and I loved that the conference had a smaller audience. There was a lot more interaction and collaboration during the workshop and breakout sessions. The sessions were thoughtfully curated. It was wonderful to meet leaders from the industry, as well as former FDA personnel. Although it was unfortunate that the current FDA personnel could not attend the conference in person, they were able to present the sessions virtually and engage with the audience. Looking forward to attending again next time!”

“As a first-time MedCon attendee, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of interesting topics. The presenters and moderators really approached conversations to get us all thinking, and even in a session that didn’t directly apply to my current day-to-day role, I was able to learn and apply the information in some way. There was not a single session in which I did not learn at least one thing, and I left with pages and pages of notes and ideas.
I will encourage our firm to send more attendees in the future, from other areas of the business, as well. Having the opportunity to network with both industry and regulators was awesome, and the knowledge and partnership is invaluable.
Thank you to all the moderators, presenters, and organizers. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and it really created a safe and inclusive educational environment.”
