Speaking Engagements

David has a diverse set of experiences as a speaker and moderator at health care and medical device industry conferences, association meetings, retreats, continuing legal education courses and universities.

Invite David to keynote, speak or moderate at your next event. His expertise ranges from health care and medical device policy, to health care compliance and privacy, to data privacy and security, to digital health and health data access.

One attendee livetweeting from a presentation given by David gave the following review (in less than 140 characters):

“@healthblawg is so good I just tend to listen vs tweet”

— high praise indeed from a livetweeter.

Other reviews have included:

“One of the best, clearest presentations from a lawyer I’ve seen. Resisted getting into the weeds and provided useful, relevant and actionable information.”

“A big thinker.”

“David always brings the goods!”

“Excellent, practical, relevant.”
