The Health 2.0 Fall Conference provides a number of opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs to share their novel innovations and ideas, including the Startup Pitch Competition, the Exhibit Hall, Market Connect sessions, 3.5 minute breakout session demos, and Launch!
Launch! is Health 2.0’s annual closing event where early stage companies announce product releases for the first time, with the audience selecting a winner after a quick-fire session of demos. This year, the applicant pool was strong enough to invite twelve companies to the Health 2.0 stage.
