SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MarketConnect Live, a first-of-its-kind event designed to strategically connect health IT vendors with healthcare organizations seeking to purchase market-ready solutions, returns to the 11thAnnual Health 2.0 Fall Conference this October in Santa Clara.
The call for market-ready healthcare technology companies to participate is now open through Aug. 15.
MarketConnect Live connects carefully curated and vetted healthcare solution companies with prospective provider, payer and pharma organizations seeking to evaluate and implement proven technologies. Unlike traditional matchmaking programs, MarketConnect Live leverages Health 2.0's global innovator network of over 4,000 companies and utilizes a carefully honed vetting mechanism to source higher quality companies, all the while accelerating the sales cycle for procuring technology.
Confirmed buyer participants include Kaiser Permanente, Cigna, Magellan Healthcare, Roivant Sciences, Dignity Health, Stanford Healthcare, Mount Sinai, NYU Langone Medical Center, San Mateo Medical Center and Community Health Center Network.
Areas of need currently identified by organizations include:
"MarketConnect Live is designed to break down the barriers of tech adoption and implementation within health organizations and connect leading companies directly with pre-qualified executives interested in commercial partnerships," said Indu Subaiya, Executive Vice President, Health 2.0, a HIMSS business unit. "We leverage a rigorous vetting process to connect buyers and sellers based on interest, market segment, growth stage and tech relevance."
"Evaluating potential healthcare solutions during a tradeshow is extremely challenging for executives who are short on time. For health IT companies, tailoring your pitch to meet the needs of a prospective client in a traditional exhibit hall environment is next to impossible," said Health 2.0 Co-Chairman Matthew Holt. "MarketConnect Live mitigates many of the disconnects and missed opportunities on the tradeshow floor, and accelerates the technology adoption journey by curating strategic connections between a solutions provider and decision maker, allowing both to perform due diligence prior to bringing all of the right executives and decision-makers together."
The MarketConnect Live Pavilion will be open on Oct. 2-3 for dedicated in-person meetings.
