Join MTEC at MHSRS 2026: Where Military Medical Innovation Comes Together

The countdown is on for the 2026 Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS), taking place August 3–6, 2026, at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. As the premier event dedicated to military medicine, MHSRS brings together government leaders, researchers, clinicians, industry innovators, and academic partners to accelerate solutions that improve Warfighter health and readiness.

MTEC is excited to return to MHSRS with an exciting lineup of opportunities to engage with the military medical community. Whether you're interested in funding opportunities, collaboration, or discovering breakthrough technologies, we invite you to make MTEC a must-visit destination during the conference.

Visit MTEC at Booth #707

Stop by Booth #707 to meet the MTEC team and learn how we're accelerating medical innovation through collaboration. We'll be available throughout the week to discuss MTEC membership, active and upcoming funding opportunities, proposal strategies, and partnership opportunities across the defense health ecosystem.

MTEC Members are also invited to participate in our Member Showcase, where they'll have the opportunity to feature their innovative technologies and engage directly with conference attendees from government, industry, and academia.

Attend the Annual MTEC Reception

Our annual MTEC Reception returns on Tuesday, August 4, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. ET, and promises to be one of the week's premier networking events.

This year's reception will once again be held inside the iconic Castillo de San Marcos replica located in the St. Augustine Atrium at the Gaylord Palms Resort. Surrounded by Spanish colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and the impressive stone fortress, attendees will enjoy an unforgettable evening of networking, cocktails, light hors d'oeuvres, and meaningful conversations with leaders from across the military medical innovation community.

The reception will also feature live demonstrations from MTEC Members, providing attendees with the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technologies and connect directly with the innovators developing tomorrow's medical solutions. Registration is expected to fill quickly, so be sure to watch for registration announcements.

Schedule a One-on-One Meeting

Want dedicated time with the MTEC team? MHSRS attendees will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings to discuss collaboration opportunities, funding pathways, membership, and proposal development. Meeting registration will open soon, and availability will be limited to ensure as many organizations as possible have an opportunity to connect.
