Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) October 06, 2017 -- The HealthTech Venture Network (HTVN) is proud to spotlight female entrepreneurship within the healthcare and technology sector at their fourth annual Conference where founders, investors, innovative practitioners and collaborators are invited to a keynote, six panels featuring 30 inspiring speakers and the ELEVATE pitch competition showcasing early stage digital health and med tech companies.

The HTVNC17 agenda has flipped the script. We're so fortunate to have such a tremendous group of participants offering their unique insight. From exhibition space to volunteer opportunities for students, we have something to offer everyone - from breakthrough entrepreneurs to C-suite executives.

This day-long event will generate conversation that leads to further education on industry advancements, facilitate opportunities that lead to beneficial collaborations and inspire change that moves healthtech forward.

Tickets are selling fast and available through Friday, October 6th at 2 pm. Join HTVN for networking opportunities, exhibits, the pitch competition and panel discussions, surrounding progressive topics such as "Female Leadership Benefiting Tech Innovation," "How Innovating Tech with Patient Advocates Can Benefit Business" and "The Greater Value of Investing in Female Tech Founders." Other panel topics include, "How Healthtech Founders Can Leverage Growth Resources," "Behind-the-Grind with Successful Female Healthtech Entrepreneurs," and "Implementing Technology Solutions in Women's Health."

HTVN Conference Event Director Bree Goodrow shared her passion for the project, stating, "Planning this agenda and connecting with so many inspiring professionals has been a true honor. When Dr. Kingsley R. Chin - Managing Partner and CEO of KICVentures - suggested we highlight female entrepreneurship, I recognized the opportunity to make a powerful impact. In 2015 Rock Health reported that 78% of the healthcare workforce is comprised of women, a stark contrast from the male-dominated tech industry. Despite that fact, women in healthcare technology are still underrepresented on leadership teams and on conference agendas. The 2017 HTVN Conference agenda has flipped the script. We're so fortunate to have such a tremendous group of participants offering their unique insight. From exhibition space to volunteer opportunities for students, we have something to offer everyone - from breakthrough entrepreneurs to C-suite executives."
