Birmingham’s Sloss Tech partnering with 2-day healthcare conference
TechBirmingham today announced a collaboration with venture capital firm gener8tor to align Sloss Tech with a healthcare technology conference that will take place the same week in the Magic City.
The partnership will bring hundreds of investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to the city for three full days of innovation and technology talks.
The two-day gener8tor Healthcare Conference, presented by Prosper, is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26, and Thursday, June 27, at Workplay.
The two-day event will spotlight innovations disrupting healthcare, new technologies and business models, and the figures in the industry pushing the envelope.
Attendees will include leading organizations, corporations, investors and startups across digital health, health equity, medtech, biotech, pharma, wellness and mental health sectors.
Sloss Tech, the five-time sold-out tech conference scheduled for June 27 and 28, will feature Roy Wood Jr. as emcee, while scheduled keynote speakers Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
“By putting the gener8tor Healthcare conference and Sloss Tech in the same week, we are creating a three-day line up of content and networking that showcases our state as a focal point of innovation to our out-of-town attendees and provides unparalleled opportunities for local leaders to learn and connect,” Emily Wykle, gener8tor regional VP said. “Those three days in June will be a moment for Alabama’s innovation ecosystem to really shine.”
As part of the partnership, gener8tor will host an invitation-only Birmingham Innovation Tour, highlighting leaders and institutions shaping the city, including the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, UAB, Southern Research and Innovation Depot.
There will be a HealthTech breakout session at Sloss Tech, with leaders and ideas at the Sloss Tech breakout stages at Sidewalk Film Center. There will also be a VIP dinner on the evening of June 26, showcasing the city as headquarters for healthtech companies. Portfolio companies will have the opportunity to pitch.
