The healthcare and life science markets are in a period of dramatic change. Despite this change, successful private equity funds can still execute deals and achieve capital growth by implementing the right strategies in the right markets. Join us at the premier two-day healthcare-focused private equity, lending and finance conference as we continue to explore new ways to successfully close transactions and achieve growth. This year’s conference will again include presentations by companies seeking investment or financing.
6 Things You Don't Want to Miss at This Year’s Conference:
1. Keynote Speakers
Doris Kearns Goodwin | Wednesday, Feb. 19, 1 – 1:45 p.m.
Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian, public speaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Her seventh book, “Leadership in Turbulent Times,” was published in September 2018 to critical acclaim and became an instant New York Times bestseller. Goodwin appears frequently on programs such as “Meet the Press” and “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
Aneesh Chopra | Thursday Feb. 20, 10:10 – 10:55 a.m
Chopra is the president of CareJourney, an open data intelligence service launched by Hunch Analytics, a “hatchery” he co-founded to incubate ideas that improve the productivity of health and education markets. From 2009 to 2012, Chopra was the first U.S. chief technology officer and, prior to that, was Virginia’s fourth secretary of technology. His public service focused on better public-private collaboration as described in his book, “Innovative State: How New Technologies Can Transform Government.”
2. Women in Private Equity Breakfast | Thursday, Feb. 20, 8 – 9 a.m.
