🗓️ SomX Events Roundup: October 2024

The best healthtech and biotech events, curated for you by SomX.

It’s dark, wet and cold but I’m still overheating in my knitted jumper… Autumn is here. And with it comes arguably the BUSIEST season for events. Here's to hoping those conference coffee carts are serving Pumpkin Spiced Lattes… (I hate PSLs, but it’s an Autumn thing…) 🎃.

As ever, September has flown by and yet there are still so many events to come this week before the month is out. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you this evening for our latest Healthtech Talks as we dive into biotech. It’s also HETT week AND, Google’s wonderful Dillion Obika is hosting Black in Healthtech on Wednesday 25th!

October seems to be kicking off an international roadshow that lasts until the end of the year with Munich’s Bits and Pretzels and the much-anticipated HLTH Vegas, before carrying through to one of our favourites - Medtech World in Malta, followed but MedFit in Lille and Healthtech Forward in Barcelona. My baby-induced travel ban means I’ll be scrolling LinkedIn with the ultimate FOMO, but I’m planning to take the tiny healthtech bro on a world healthtech tour next year so hopefully see you on a plane / conference floor in 2025…

And some exciting news closer to home - 🐦 Healthtech Pigeon is a Media Partner for this year’s Sifted Summit 🐦 - tipped to be a VC scouting ground, it’s one of the most exciting tech startup events of the year! With an agenda spanning the best and brightest across the industry, and a plethora of healthtech legends taking to the stage, there is plenty to keep you busy for the two-day event.

And if that wasn’t enough, we’re hosting the Official Sifted Summit Warmup on 1 October at London Bridge! Whether you’re headed to Greenwich for the main event, or you just want to catch up with some of your favourite people in tech, register now!

It’s going to be a busy month - so, remember to pace yourselves and embrace conference season chaos!

Have a good one and see you again soon for another full-to-the-brim healthtech events update.

Jessica.
