SUMMIT FOR HEALTHCARE INNOVATION

MedCity CONVERGE provides the most accurate picture of the future of medical innovation by gathering decision-makers from every sector to debate the challenges and opportunities facing the industry. This national, executive-level summit gathers leaders from health systems, payers, medical device, pharma and digital health/health IT to join with entrepreneurs, government leaders, investors and other key stakeholders to see the latest innovations and create, through their conversations, truly actionable intelligence on where the innovation opportunities are right now.

CONVERGE 2013 will be a two-day event – held July 9 & 10 – in Philadelphia, PA.

Through a mix of provocative conversations, heavily interactive networking sessions and a showcase of the hottest early-stage companies, CONVERGE empowers attendees to guide their organizations in a way other conferences can’t.
