ASRM is excited to introduce INNOVATE: The Synergy of Science and Technology, a premier reproductive health innovation summit designed to bring together healthcare professionals, thought leaders, and innovators to advance reproductive medicine through science and technology. Registration opens this month in conjunction with registration for the ASRM 2025 Scientific Congress & Expo.
This two-day event, held on Wednesday, October 29, and Thursday, October 30, 2025, will feature presentations, pitches, breakout panels, roundtables, and more. Centered around the theme “Aspire to Innovate,” the program includes talks by Drs. Jared Robins, Neel Shah, Eduardo Hariton, Jim Hotaling, David Sable, and Anuja Dokras. Attendees will also participate in breakout sessions tailored to funders, clinicians, or entrepreneurs.
Each breakout session will include a moderated panel discussion geared to inspire innovation and provide tangible tips for turning ideas into reality for each group. Roundtable discussions will allow attendees to dive deeper into innovation through connection, discussion, and discovery with fellow attendees. Additionally, the pitch presentation session will conclude with a prize presentation.
Keynote speaker Dr. David Sable is excited to bring attendees together to discuss how those in the field can take their ideas and turn them into tangible benefits for more patients. He views innovation as a way to be more efficient, which in turn creates more cost-effective options, allowing those in the field to reach more patients. For Dr. Sable, the most exciting part of the summit is bringing together such a diverse group of people to look at innovation from every step of the process, from ideas to reality. He hopes that attendees will take their ideas and “make them into the future of IVF and reproductive medicine.”
Speaker Dr. Eduardo Hariton focuses on the intimacy of the event. With limited registration, INNOVATE will allow attendees to truly connect and drive genuine conversation to tackle the issues that are affecting patients. He also finds efficiency to be a key goal of innovation in the field to improve access to care. “I hope you take something tangible home,” said Dr. Hariton. “Whether that’s a skill you take back and use in your clinic or a tool you want to pilot and scale, we want everyone to take home and try some of these innovative approaches."
