Symposia and Workshops
As the nexus of the focused ultrasound community, the Foundation sponsors meetings and workshops throughout the year addressing key challenges and opportunities for the technology.
While these meetings are a forum for exchanging knowledge and ideas, the most important aspect is fostering collaborations and partnerships.
There are many stakeholders involved in the development and adoption pathways of focused ultrasound—clinicians, scientists, manufacturers, regulators, research institutions, philanthropic foundations, venture capitalists, insurance companies, and patients. As an unbiased, independent third party, the Foundation has the unique ability to play the role of global connector and link all of these stakeholders, serving as the catalyst for focused ultrasound’s progress and an incubator to foster collaboration.
International Symposia
On a biennial basis from 2010 to 2022, the Foundation hosted an International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound. Targeted to researchers, clinicians, industry, government and others interested in focused ultrasound, the Symposium offered a multifaceted exploration of the field through plenary sessions, panel discussions, poster presentations, and technical exhibits.

Workshops
To drive innovation, solve problems and overcome barriers, we forge collaborations with leading investigators worldwide on specific medical conditions or technical challenges. The Foundation organizes workshops and mini-workshops regularly, focused on key issues facing the field.
