Off The Record | The Real Stories of MedTech

MTAA and MTAA's MedTech Compass are proud to partner with Innovate Medtech for this event.

Medtech founders rarely talk about the moments that nearly broke their companies, the pivots that saved everything, the decisions that didn’t, and the “how are we still alive?” moments. 

Join Dr Michael Challenor for a short, honest panel where founders share the real stories behind building a medtech company, including the highs, the setbacks, and the lessons learned the hard way.

Connect with founders, researchers, investors, and industry leaders from across the medtech ecosystem - including many from the Eastern States, visiting for AusMedtech 2026. No formalities. Just the stories behind the companies.

Event Format:
6:45 PM | Doors open - grab a drink and mingle
7:30 PM | Panel discussion with founders
After | Drinks, food, conversation, and funky tunes

• Rocky Ridge Brewery, Burswood (short walk from Crown Perth)
