Health 2.0

The Sixth Annual Fall Conference was our biggest fall event ever with over 2,100 attendees, and this year we’ve expanded to two and a half days packed with a carefully curated lineup featuring the role of consumers, big data, health care marketplaces, as well as old favorites like the Unmentionables, 3 CEOs, and the debut of 10 new companies during Launch! We also have a keynote from Humana CEO, Bruce Broussard and Lt. Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.

Health 2.0 and Morgenthaler Ventures and DC to VC 2013: Health IT Startup Showcase is a nationwide contest to find the best venture-backable startup ideas in health IT. It culminates with the top 8 finalists presenting on stage at the Health 2.0 Annual Conference in Santa Clara, CA to a crowd of health IT enthusiasts on Monday, September 30, 2013. Because so much is happening in healthcare right now. With 2014 reform on the horizon and possible shifts in the healthcare ecosystem due to government incentives for EHR adoption and the promotion of payment reform, health IT as a market is growing. We want your best new thinking.

Matchpoint East is an exclusive opportunity for health technology entrepreneurs and large stakeholders to meet in designated 15-20 minute meetings. Showcase a demo. During these meetings, innovators have the opportunity to demo their innovations with potential partners and investors. Innovative companies are pre-selected by an expert committee based on our sponsoring companies’ areas of interest. Traditionally, over 500+ applications are reviewed to identify 10-15 innovative companies. Establish partnerships. These up close and personal meetings allow innovators to pilot, collaborate, and partner with interested stakeholders. Our stakeholders include representatives from large payors, investment groups, corporations, and foundations. This event took place on June 25, 2013. Matchpoint offers an exclusive chance to participate in round table discussions and workshops with industry leaders. In addition to the Matchpoint meetings, our speakers lead interactive sessions and provide expert feedback. Additionally, all participants are invited to our privately held networking receptions.

At the 6th Annual Fall Conference you will see the very latest technologies in Health 2.0, and we’ll maintain our tradition of hosting leading thinkers and fascinating conversation. This fall, new technologies will be presented in contextual environments woven around a developing narrative which illustrates the transformation occurring in the space. Change doesn’t come easily and a true, universal transformation requires the analysis, connection and redefinition of categories across all parts of the system. We’ll dive deeper into these issues with topics like big data analysis, personalized medicine, price transparency and keynotes from Health Futurist Joe Flower, Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini and famed personal trainer Jillian Michaels. Over two days we will progressively illuminate on stage, through mini-environments and discussion, that Health 2.0 is everywhere – it touches how we live, how we eat, how we interact with providers, patients and more. There’ll be lots of media coverage, hundreds of potential customers, and scores of potential partners to meet. If you want to get involved in health care innovation, you need to be at Health 2.0!
