We have also announced the Pitch Perfect contest, and we are inviting startups across all healthcare sectors — medical devices, diagnostics, biopharma, health IT and health services — to apply for a chance to be selected. Selected startups will present live to judges at the conference at the Four Seasons hotel during the conference.
