Innovation Nexus Showcase

The Innovation Nexus Showcase is the centerpiece of the Forum. This premier event invites a wide range of startups—from Idea stage through Post-Series A—to present their innovations to a high-impact audience.

The Showcase gives innovators the opportunity to introduce their solutions, gain expert feedback, and build the connections needed to accelerate funding, partnerships, and commercialization.

For investors and industry stakeholders, the Showcase offers a first look at emerging technologies shaping the future of urologic care.

Innovation Sessions

Innovation Sessions are a new addition to the Innovation Nexus Forum, designed to complement the energy of the Showcase Presentations with deeper, more interactive engagement. These small-group sessions connect innovators directly with strategics, industry leaders, experienced executives, and investors for candid, high-value conversations. Topics include go-to-market strategy, investor engagement, regulatory pathways, capital planning, and building successful strategic partnerships. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2027 Innovation Nexus Forum in San Diego, California, on May 20, 2027. Registration opens in December.
