As technology continues to evolve and shape the future of healthcare, the a2 Collective invites innovators, academics, and industry leaders to convene at the University of Pennsylvania's Smilow Center for Translational Research on March 19-20, 2024. Backed by the National Institute on Aging and other key sponsors (tba), this 2-day event is bound to spark dialogue, foster collaboration, and ignite the next wave of transformative ideas in AgeTech, AI, healthy aging, and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD).

WHY ATTEND?

This symposium isn't your standard tech event. With a special focus on AI and AgeTech, we're addressing challenges and celebrating innovations to improve care and health outcomes for our aging population. Engage with awardees from both the first and second a2PilotAwards.ai cohorts, executives from the healthcare industry, capital allocators, renowned academic experts, clinical researchers, and a host of tech startups ready to shape the future of healthtech. If you're an investor, this is your prime opportunity to meet game-changing startups in the AI, AgeTech, and AD/ADRD space.
