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.

There will also be a range of healthy snacks to try out during the event!

[Panel + Social] How Healthtech Teams integrate AI into live products

AI-native competitors are reshaping the space. But you already have real users, workflows, and a team that depends on what you’ve built. You can’t tear it down and start over.

This session is about how Series A+ health tech companies are adding AI to live systems: what works, what breaks, and how to sequence it without killing what’s already running.

The panel will be followed by a social!

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 🎧

Founder Feud

Founder Feud

👨🏻‍💻 vs 👨🏻‍💻

Two teams of founders go ⚡️head to head⚡️ on stage. A question gets asked. Teams race to guess the top answers.

🌀 But here’s the twist, the answers aren’t made up. We surveyed 100+ founders ahead of time. The answers you’ll see are what founders actually think (not what they post on LinkedIn). The reveals are part funny, part uncomfortable, and occasionally a little too real.

It moves fast 💨

A little competitive, a little chaotic, very entertaining. A host keeps things tight, the teams keep it spicy, and the audience gets a front-row seat to how founders actually think.

Come for the game, stay for the 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.
