🗓️ SomX Events Roundup: May 2024
The best healthtech and biotech events, curated for you by SomX.
Guess what’s back, back again. Two things actually… 1) this handy events update for its second edition and 2) after a brief hiatus, SomX Healthtech Talks in partnership with Google Cloud! 🥳
Yep, you heard it here first — we’ll be back with our good friends at Google CSG, Tottenham Court Road on 8 May at 6pm to hear from Numan CEO Sokratis Papafloratos, Flo Health CMO Anna Klepchukova and GP and content creator Dr Simi Adedeji, on why information is the new gatekeeper of care and how its also shaping models of care. Spaces go quicklyyyyyy! You’ve been warned.
April has seen a steady flow of events - the panels I managed to catch at London Business School Healthcare Club’s annual conference saw some tough questions from the audience…the kind of event energy I love to see!
Huw and Daisy headed to Manchester to celebrate the NHS Innovation Accelerator’s 2024 Cohort launch. Jess hosted our second Meet-up Club with the Health Foundry, providing an afternoon of coworking (I’m assured some work was done…) and a libatious debrief at a local watering hole, The Pineapple. James unveiled his brand new keynote exploring whether AI can ever have true empathy at The Digital Healthcare Show yesterday and I’ll also be heading over to the LSX World Congress next week.
May is picking up the pace, kicking off a busy first week for global healthcare IRL with the London Biotechnology Show, The Digital Health Festival in Melbourne, The Longevity Med Summit in Lisbon and, of course, our Healthtech Talks.
We’re DELIGHTED to be a media partner for two awesome events in June. As a dedicated women’s health enthusiast, I am especially excited to be supporting the ineffable Femtech Lab team for the second year of Decoding the Future of Women. SOMX gets you a neat 20% off your ticket.
And, the one EVERYONE and their dog (yes, including our Chief Happiness Officer Nuno 🐶) has been talking about - the iconic HLTH Europe. We’re stoked to be sharing some exclusive pre-event and on-the-ground interviews that will either get you very excited or give you so much FOMO you immediately book for 2025. If you haven’t booked for this year, do it now using HLTH24_PIGEON to catch a discount.
That’s it for this month. May the force be with you when May finally comes 🚀
See you around!
Jessica.
