The doctor’s office is no longer the default entry point into healthcare. GLP-1s are prescribed over text. Gyms are becoming longevity clinics. AI is becoming a first-line triage tool. A new health stack is forming outside traditional institutions.


This panel explores what that stack looks like, who gets to participate, and what we gain or lose when health becomes a consumer product.

Designers Offline

In a week full of panels, talks, and packed schedules, this is your pause.
A space for designers and the design curious to mingle, meet creative people, and be part of the conversation.

No panels. No pitches. Just good people, coffee, and an easy vibe.

In a week full of panels, talks, and packed schedules — this is your pause.

Designers Offline is where designers and people design-curious enough to crash the party — come to hang out like normal humans.

Whether you work in design, want to break into it, or just want to better understand how designers think, this is a space to come along, mingle, and be part of the conversation.

No panels.
No pitches.
No awkward “so what do you do?” energy.

Just good people, coffee, a few hot takes, a little bit of chaos (the fun kind) and house party vibes 🎧

UGLY TALK: Healthtech Go-To-Market

Go-to-market in Healthtech is different. The buyer isn’t the user, regulations shape every channel, and pilots can drag for months before you know if they’re working.


Founders get honest about finding the right channel, when to pivot, how long to run a pilot before killing it, and the GTM mistakes they wish they hadn’t made.
