Thoughts from Past Attendees
It’s just the right size where you can have meaningful conversations and collisions.
I made valuable connections with potential collaborators that would not have been possible otherwise. I feel the momentum of this growing and vibrant healthcare innovation ecosystem can benefit startups at any stage. This was a very well-organized event, and will look for future opportunities with MedHealth.
The speakers and panelists were excellent and the event was very well organized.
I thought it was great to educate attendees on the need for better care in underserved communities.
