If you’re passionate about healthcare change, this is your launchpad.

Check out some of the impactful conversations from our previous health event:

✨ Featured Speaker

Laird Russell – Founder & CEO, Exa Care
Laird is redefining what compassionate, connected care looks like. Inspired by personal experience, he founded Exa Care to help families navigate the complexity of elder care with clarity and confidence. By blending technology and empathy, Exa Care is transforming the caregiving experience from stressful to seamless. Expect Laird to dive into the intersection of aging, innovation, and how human-centered design is reshaping the way we care for our loved ones.

Laird will take the stage to discuss how personal health struggles inspired him to dig deeper when it came to care. If you’re looking for inspiration or a nudge in the right direction, you won’t want to miss his talk.

What you'll take away

• Tangible perspectives on healthtech innovation — from idea stage through growth.

• Fresh networking connections with folks building at the intersection of healthcare and tech.

• Inspiration and actionable tactics you can apply to your own startup, role or investment thesis.

• A front-row seat to Canada’s evolving health-innovation ecosystem.
