Speaker programs remain an important engagement channel for Medical Devices and MedTech organizations—but evolving compliance expectations and operational complexity demand a more structured approach.

In this case study, learn how IQVIA MedTech partnered with a leading continuous glucose monitoring company to modernize its speaker bureau model—reducing administrative burden, improving compliance, and increasing speaker satisfaction.

The Challenge Facing Medical Devices and MedTech Manufacturers

As MedTech organizations scale, legacy speaker program models often create risk and inefficiency. In this real‑world example, the customer faced:

• High administrative workload from per‑event contracting
• Delayed speaker payments driven by manual invoicing
• Inconsistent honoraria calculations
• Compliance concerns related to event standards and value perception

These challenges no longer aligned with evolving regulatory expectations or internal governance standards for Medical Devices companies.

The IQVIA MedTech Approach: Purpose‑Built for MedTech

Built specifically to help MedTech innovators thrive, IQVIA MedTech delivered a structured, scalable speaker program model aligned with industry best practices. Key enhancements included:

• Annual speaker contracting to streamline compliance reviews
• Automated payments triggered by program completion
• Flat‑rate honoraria standardized by program format
• Clear attendee thresholds and stricter alcohol policies

This approach reflects IQVIA MedTech’s purpose‑built expertise, regulatory strength, and precision at scale, helping customers reduce risk while freeing internal resources.

Measurable Results for MedTech Organizations

By transforming its speaker program model, the Medical Devices company achieved:

• 354+ internal hours saved annually through reduced contract and invoice processing
• 10,625+ minutes saved for speakers by eliminating manual invoicing
• Faster payments and improved speaker satisfaction
• A stronger, more defensible compliance posture

These outcomes demonstrate how operational excellence can turn speaker programs into strategic assets for MedTech organizations.

Why This Matters for Medical Devices Leaders

When compliance, efficiency, and experience are aligned, speaker programs become more than a tactical activity—they support confident decision‑making and long‑term value creation.

As the only partner purpose‑built for MedTech, IQVIA MedTech brings together regulatory expertise, operational rigor, and data‑driven insight to help Medical Devices companies thrive across the commercial lifecycle.
