The Annual NANS Invention, Investment, and Invigoration (I3) Forum is designed to provide an interactive and dynamic platform for review and discussion of emerging topics, technologies, clinical applications, and socioeconomic issues impacting neuromodulation. The forum includes clinicians, scientists, engineers, industry, and investors, among others.

This year, I3 will focus on providing a thorough discussion on the challenges and opportunities for neuromodulation growth in North America. Neuromodulation is challenged with strategic growth and innovation in the next 10 years. The success for neuromodulation will not only depend on new technology innovation but also strategy that includes its global deployment. This forum will include world leaders in neuromodulation who will discuss partnership funding strategies, FDA requirements, and the emerging global ecosystem for neuromodulation devices. Join us at our premier forum for invention, investment, and invigoration in neuromodulation: NANS I3.
