Healthcare startups, this is your time (MedCity CONVERGE)

We are looking for a select group of digital health startups to attend and present.

Philadelphia CONVERGEThis post is sponsored by MedCity CONVERGE.

The healthcare industry’s annual conference to gauge the progress of innovation in the healthcare spectrum is approaching. CONVERGE is set to take place in Philadelphia July 12-13 and we are looking for a select group of digital health startups to attend and present.

The executive summit gathers thought leaders across healthcare — payers, hospitals, policymakers, digital health, medtech, pharma, biotech, entrepreneurs, investors and more—to discuss and debate the future of healthcare innovation.

We would like to invite healthcare startups to take part in our Startup Showcase. It will include up to 30 early-stage companies from across the life sciences and digital health that bring unique ideas to some of the big opportunities in medicine.

We’re looking for digital health startups no more than three years old that have not raised more than a Series A round, and life science startups no further advanced than Phase 2 trials.

If accepted, in exchange for a $299 fee, you gain access to the conference, a second ticket at half price, and the opportunity to network with healthcare decisionmakers. Our conference revolves around a few themes this year: diabetes, big data analysis and direct-to-consumer business models.

They’ll get showcase space and be able to network with thought leaders across healthcare. We’ll recognize them on MedCityNews.com. Follow this link to apply.

We’ll have keynotes from Geisinger Health System’s Chief Information Officer and the Chief Medical Officer from Novo Nordisk. Among some of the panels are:

  • How are payers and health systems looking at the economics of genetics?
  • How far has pharma come to integrating digital health (and how much further does it need to go until it’s fully integrated into its business model?)
  • What kinds of innovation can we expect to see from the large healthcare institutions?

You must apply by June 15. So don’t delay. We look forward to you taking part in our event.
