Keynote Speaker
Dawn Owens, CEO and Partner, TT Capital Partners
Since 2018, the Convene Conference has served a bold and inspirational purpose, harnessing innovation and insight to reimagine healthcare. I am thrilled to lend my voice to this year’s important discussion: Building the Vision for SmartTech for Health. Only by bringing together people from across the healthcare ecosystem to dialogue about the opportunities and discuss a common vision can we truly unlock the potential of technology for our industry. - Dawn Owens, CEO, TT Capital Partners
Conference Chair
Prof. Pinar Karaca-Mandic
Inspired by Minnesota's federal designation as a "Med Tech Hub", join us for a program that will explore questions around how we can build towards this designation: What types of partnerships are needed; What is the role of electronic health records; How can we bring innovative ideas from lab-to-market, and how can we fund these innovations?Â
