We inspire the community through showcasing, connecting, profiling and laughing. We bring together doers, thinkers and trailblazers to change the face of future healthcare. The community is free to join – we feel our resources and the opportunities we provide should be as accessible as possible.

To empower local grassroots communities to thrive by inspiring, celebrating, enabling and championing diversity in healthtech.
