The goal of the Health Summit is to identify and showcase affordable solutions for urgent social and human problems. Our focus is on how technology can be used to provide healthcare and education to the billions who are left out of the current healthcare and education delivery systems. Outcomes of the Health Summit will roll into an action-oriented Nobel Peace Laureates Summit to be held in Atlanta in November.
Our confirmed speakers include:
- Prof. Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner and Father of Microcredit
- Omar Ishrak, PhD, CEO, Medtronic, Inc
- Hon. Louis W. Sullivan, MD, Former Secretary of U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
- Martine Rothblatt, CEO, United Therapeutic, Corp
The event will include presentations from technology solution providers (researchers, start-ups and innovative companies) along side deep thought leadership sessions on major themes and challenges of deploying such solutions.
An informational session will held at the Thursday Think Tank on March 5, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Laurie Baird will provide an overview of the spring summit and will answer any questions. Bring your ideas and discuss how you can participate in this exciting opportunity.
We hope you will be able to join us!
