MassMEDIC Launches Women in MedTech Leadership Virtual Forum Series


MassMEDIC Women in MedTech Networking and Leadership Forum

MassMEDIC continues its popular Women in MedTech Leadership and Networking Forum through a series of virtual gatherings aimed at bringing its community together, while raising money for survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

The Massachusetts Medical Device Industry Council (MassMEDIC) announced a new series of events aimed at bringing its community together, while raising money for survivors of sexual abuse and domestic assault.

MassMEDIC will continue its popular Women in MedTech Networking and Leadership Forum through a new series of virtual events, designed specifically to bring us together for learning, laughter, and community. The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted every aspect of work, home, and family life. These events are intended to provide a platform to come together—virtually of course—to talk, exchange ideas and feel connected.

In lieu of paid registrations, The MassMEDIC Women in MedTech Forum encourages attendees to make a donation to New Hope, a non-profit organization that works throughout South-Central and Southeastern Massachusetts to assist those affected by domestic and sexual violence. New Hope has seen an uptick in the need for its services and continues to serve the community virtually.

Registration for all events is now open.


This event will feature a founder story and advice from two women who pursued their dreams and succeeded. Hear from Maureen Boyce and Amy Salzhauer, co-founders of Good Growth Capital, a majority women- and minority-owned early stage venture capital firm.


How has social distancing, home schooling, working from home, financial pressure, routine disruption impacted us? Dr. Daphne Holt, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School will lead a discussion on self-care, giving ourselves the space to “not be okay” and strategies to support our mental wellbeing.


When the path isn’t quite clear, how can we utilize the time to reach the next level of our or professional development. Join Holly Scott, Vice President & Senior Partner at The Mullings Group for a conversation around how to be your own career advocate and put yourself in a position to advance.


Join us as we honor inspirational figures in our community.

All individuals or organizations who donate $100 or more will be entered in a raffle to win a “MassMEDIC event season pass”. This season pass, worth over $1,000, will include one ticket to four upcoming signature events in 2020/21. One winner will be selected at the end of the May 19th event, you do not have to be present at that event to win. Donations may be made through Eventbrite during event registration or here.
