Never before has one therapeutic clas s promised such a seismic shift in the health of Americans—or the U.S. a nd global economies. Already established as cornerstone therapies in diabe tes and obesity\, Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide and Eli Lilly’s tirzepati de bring in billions of dollars each year. And the drugs are only expandin g their reach: semaglutide has also been approved to lower cardiovascular risk and tirzepatide for sleep apnea\, with ongoing research showing promi se in treating conditions as far afield as addiction\, Alzheimer’s disea se and cancer. \nSo it’s no wonder the class is having a larger\, struct ural effect on U.S. health systems and consumer markets\, from a rise in d irect-to-consumer purchasing options to debates over pricing and coverage. How can companies—both established providers of GLP-1s and those lookin g to break onto the exploding market—navigate this unprecedented territo ry? What will it mean for patients? \nThis panel will focus on understandi ng how the incredible health gains driven by GLP-1s can reach as many peop le as possible and how these drugs might evolve the broader healthcare sys tem. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by: LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T182132Z LOCATION:https://www.califesciences.org/event/the-massive-scale-of-glp-1s- biospace/ URL:https://www.califesciences.org/event/the-massive-scale-of-glp-1s-biosp ace/ X-SOURCE-NAME:California Life Sciences X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.califesciences.org/venue/san-diego-convention-cen ter END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bicoastal Medical Devices & Diagnostics Symposium DTSTART:20260909T183000Z DTEND:20260910T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260824T182132Z UID:10001170-1788953400-1788976800@www.califesciences.org CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Medical Device & Diagnostics 2026 is a premier bicoastal event that brings together innovators\, industry leaders\, healthcare professio nals\, investors\, and entrepreneurs to shape the future of medical techno logy.
