HEALTHCARE INVESTMENT CONFERENCE 2024
MAY 21 & 22 | CHICAGO | RITZ CARLTON
Meet and connect with active investors and healthcare’s most promising entrepreneurs.
The event is presented by MedCity News, the authoritative and leading source for what’s next in the business of healthcare, and MHIN (Mid-America Healthcare Investors Network), a nonprofit organization composed of more than 50 venture capital firms.
For well over a decade, INVEST has united active investors with promising start-ups — be they in biopharma, diagnostics, medical devices or health tech. The conference content has highlighted the opportunities and challenges as the industry tries to navigate the winds of change – a greater need for consumer convenience, the shift to value-based care, the desire for seamless care coordination and last, but not least, more equitable and affordable healthcare for all.
Join us to hear from innovative investors, prominent industry players, contrarians and entrepreneurs offering novel approaches to try and solve some of healthcare’s greatest challenges.
