Loker, a businessman, author ,speaker, startup consultant, advisor to SYDK.ORG and contributor to California Political Review, will kick off Day One with an inspirational keynote entitled: Growth and Opportunities 2020 with a Vision 2020 and Beyond.

Loker will provide a view of changing healthcare for the better in 2020 and the longer term. "The future to affordable and quality care rests on device innovation in two distinct areas: Devices that improve efficiency of treatment listing costs for routine diagnosis and treatment, and devices that provide incrementally higher value based on better quality of life," stated Loker. "The former will be the key to driving the cost down for necessary, insured care, the later for choice based value purchases increasingly from retail out of pocket payment for higher quality of life care."
The Medical Device Summit will be one of the largest gatherings of medical device companies, suppliers, professionals and experts in 2015. This year has shown that the industry continues to face a number of issues that will be affecting it in the long-term. The controversial medical device tax, the increasing threat of cyber-attacks, the fast pace of technical developments and the regulatory hurdles that these bring up – these are topics that the industry as a whole needs to discuss, debate and discover new strategies.
