The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) officially announces the members of its Advisory Council and location for the leading medical device industry standards conference held in 2027.
The 2027 AAMI neXus will be the premier gathering of the medical device, safety, and regulatory professionals whose work drives safety and innovation in international health technology. Not content to merely rest on its laurels, AAMI intends to deliver on the high-level dialogue, strategic sessions, and networking neXus attendees have come to expect, all while introducing new offerings at the 2027 conference.
The inaugural 2024 AAMI neXus, co-sponsored by the Food and Drug Administration, attracted hundreds of professionals from industry and regulatory agencies and was hailed as an international success. In 2026, AAMI neXus returned, once again convening a host of experts from the FDA and other regulatory agencies, as well as the international medical device standards community.
