Speaker agenda updated below! Join us for all or part of the day.
Health is changing. Technology is changing. The way we access health and wellness is changing, too. (Thank goodness!)
Network with founders, healthcare leaders, investors, clinicians, wellness innovators, and curious consumers for the 2nd Annual Health & Wellness Innovation Summit, an immersive day dedicated to the ideas, companies, and conversations shaping the future of health.
Hosted during LA Tech Week, this year's Summit brings together three organizations united by a shared belief that people deserve more transparency, greater choice, and more thoughtful innovation across health and wellness.
Join us as ionava launches its transformative financial platform designed around health and wellness, a model disrupting existing health insurance paradigms to reward health, restore agency, and empower consumers financially.
Check your eligibility at https://go.ionava.com/eligibility and sign up for a powerful alternative to health insurance, cutting your costs in half for the healthcare of your choice (no restrictive networks) before Open Enrollment, when ACA health insurance premiums are slated to rise 26-300%.
VSP proudly co-hosts this exciting event to highlight its Global Innovation Center. The GIC is VSP Vision's lens into the future. Through emerging technologies, new business exploration, and strategic connections within the innovation ecosystem, the Global Innovation Center is a hub for reimagining the way eye care and eyewear are delivered to the world.
Experience all this and more at The KINN, a member-only workclub for entrepreneurs, operators, visionaries building what matters. Grounded in the belief that nothing great is ever built alone, the KINN opens their doors during LA Tech Week to showcase some of the most promising businesses in the future of health and wellness, in the heart of Venice.
Be there when founders, industry leaders, and the public come together for one of the first opportunities to experience ionava—and network with many of the innovators shaping what's next in health and wellness.
