The publication
Why the readers wanted a table.

Every week The Device Files takes on the questions nobody else is writing plainly about: when a wearable becomes a regulated medical device, and who decides; whether wearable makers should set their own signal standards before regulators do; who is accountable when AI out-diagnoses the doctor; what it takes to commercialize a device and get it reimbursed; what happens when Apple, Samsung and Oura move deeper into regulated health.

The tables
Not the usual executive dinner.

No one at the table is there to be sold to, and no one sits through a pitch. That is why the people you want actually come: a real conversation among peers, hosted by Blythe Karow, at a place worth the evening on its own.

Each table is 15 to 20 people and every seat is chosen. Invitation only. The evening carries past the night, into the essay, the podcast and the conversation that follows.

Partners

Your company named as a sponsor of the evening, one of two partners at the table. Two seats for your people, rather than a booth, with real time to engage this crowd in a setting where nobody is selling. The Device Files handles everything: the venue, the table, the guests, the evening.

The value is the conversation itself, with people thinking about the same questions your business turns on, at a table small enough for everyone to talk. Ask, and we will walk you through where a specific table is heading.

The Device Files Summit

The gathering the tables lead to.

An invitation-only European summit for leaders at the convergence of consumer tech, AI and medical devices: working sessions, a hosted dinner, and time in the mountains away from any show floor.
