Program areas include:

  • New in 2024! Emerging Concepts: The path from initial idea to a new tool adopted in the clinic has many steps. Before prototypes can be created, startups can be founded, capital can be raised, or research trials conducted, all innovators start with a promising spark to be developed into a new advancement for clinical care. The new Emerging Concepts session will feature a selection of the most compelling early-stage urology innovators and their nascent ideas workshopped at the Nexus Boot Camp.     
  • Showcase: Through a rigorous and highly competitive selection process the AUA selects a handful of the best, most exciting startups in urology to showcase their innovations. These highly innovative companies span the globe and present products—devices, artificial intelligence platforms, diagnostic tests, etc.—covering a variety of urologic issues such as prostate and bladder cancer, kidney injuries, fertility testing, nocturnal enuresis, overactive bladder, and interstitial cystitis.

  • Discussion Forums: Sessions address thought-provoking topics such as the importance of a urology incubator, current physician and patient needs, investment in urologic discovery, and more. View the 2024 Speaker Agenda
