The session covered the precedent-setting Colorado neurotech legislation and highlighted what was expected next in the U.S. and worldwide. Dr. Karen Rommelfanger moderated an interactive discussion on strategies stakeholders could use to navigate the emerging regulatory and industry environments, advance innovation, and foster public trust. Participants were encouraged to pose questions, share experiences, and engage in debate. The session provided a critical opportunity for stakeholders to learn more and get involved in determining what would come next.
