Platinum Sponsor:

The World Healthcare Innovation and Technology Congress co-sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, is a global forum to present best practices in the implementation of innovative business strategies, policy-making, and technology solutions to better our current health care system and improve the way you do business. Thought leaders and real-life case studies will demonstrate successful application of innovation in all its forms, and will provide insight to help resolve issues such as patient safety, clinical quality, access, and margins.

The program will be practical, forward looking, sometimes controversial, and always thought provoking. It will provide specific, results-oriented education as well as collaborative, cross-constituency learning. Designed to attract an inclusive but carefully targeted and influential audience, the program will be managed so that each delegate will enjoy a high level of attention and resources, providing the most productive and immediately actionable experience possible.

A dynamic, interactive, and varied format will illuminate the world’s leading strategies and technologies transforming health care.
