Leading entrepreneurs and start-up companies focused on emerging healthcare technologies will showcase their innovations at the HIMSS24 Venture Connect Program during the HIMSS Global Conference and Exhibition, March 11-15 in Orlando, FL.  

Venture Connect fosters meaningful connections and collaborations through the shared experiences of a variety of founders, startups, and others across the healthcare ecosystem. This year’s Venture Connect Program will dive into the change needed to positively impact dare delivery.  

Sessions will feature a robust education program covering start-up journeys, nursing innovation and market trends. The program also hosts pitch competitions to allow participants to compete for a chance to showcase their innovations to a distinguished panel of judges. The annual NursePitch™ competition aims to increase the voice, opportunity and visibility of the nursing audience in the digital health ecosystem by holding ‘nurse led’ & ‘nurse developed’ innovation competition. 

The Venture Connect Program will also include the Venture Capital, Investor, and Private Equity Market Trends: 2024 Perspectives on Healthcare session, where esteemed panelists from across the venture ecosystem will share their views on the market trends fueling innovation for 2024 and the near term. 

Sessions are led by and feature speakers from some of the largest healthcare investing firms, tech giants like Microsoft, and government agencies.
