FEEDBACK FROM PAST ATTENDEES

HealthTech had just the right combination of intimacy, expertise and sociability, where I could meet a good cross-section of entrepreneurs and funders focused on the health and wellness space.

I attend as many healthcare conferences as my schedule permits, and your recent conference was the most effective and value adding healthcare conference I've attended in the bay area!

HealthTech Conference 2012 put me face-to-face with VCs and the entrepreneurs they financed. It's an extraordinary opportunity to get inside their heads and re-visit the make or break decisions they made.
