Industry Day: Surgical Competition

BTO will host a second Industry Day for potential competitors in the DARPA Surgical Competition (DSC). The second Industry Day will be held virtually on Nov. 4, 2026, from 4 - 6 p.m. ET. Advance registration is required.

The second Industry Day goals include:

1. Allow those who were unable to attend the First Industry Day a chance to learn about the vision and goals of the DARPA Surgical Competition.
2. Provide another opportunity for engagement with the DSC team to answer questions regarding the competition before Qualifications close on Nov. 13, 2026.

The second Industry Day will include brief overview presentations by government personnel as well as an information session to respond to questions from participants. For those who participated in the first Industry Day, this meeting will be mostly a repeat of information and materials provided in the first meeting, however, it will provide another opportunity to engage in a live Q&A with the DSC Team.

Attendance at this event is not a requirement for qualification as a competitor. Information relayed during the Second Industry Day will be made available at: https://www.darpa.mil/surgical.
