Join us for the 2025 Health Innovation Exchange Summit, a curated gathering of visionary founders, healthcare leaders, and investors focused on building and backing the future of health.
Now in its second year, this summit highlights Atlanta's role as a growing hub for innovation at the intersection of food, aging, access, and public health. Through dynamic panels and conversations, we'll explore how prevention, not treatment, is becoming the new frontier in improving health outcomes and economic resilience.
