Healthcare Dealmakers Conference 2016

Healthcare

NINTH ANNUAL EVENT HELD AT ADOLPHUS HOTEL IN DALLAS

Innovate and Accelerate is the theme for the two-day, invitation only event. Dallas Innovates is on the scene and giving you a look at what goes on behind the scenes, during the speaker and panel sessions, and at the Health Innovation Pitch Competition.

On Wednesday, the first-ever Health Innovation Pitch Competition, organized by Health Wildcatters, took place at the annual conference.

“We are thrilled to have so many ground-breaking companies that are creating a new era of healthcare apply to the competition,” said Health Wildcatters CEO Hubert Zajicek. “Since 11 of the 15 selected are from outside the Dallas region, we have a chance to highlight the strong health innovation environment in North Texas.”

“We are thrilled to have so many ground-breaking companies that are creating a new era of healthcare apply to the competition.”
