Agenda
October 27, 2026
Registration will remain open throughout the conference.
Our summit will kick off with a fireside chat between former ARPA-H COO and current head of Healthcare and Life Science, Venture Capital BD, Google Healthcare and Life Science Startups, Joe Shonkwiler, M.D., and founder and CEO of the Larta Institute, Rohit Shukla.
Join leaders from Armata Pharmaceuticals, MannKind Corporation, Terray Therapeutics and UCLA Anderson Venture Accelerator as they go beyond the buzzwords to explore real-world examples of where AI is driving meaningful efficiencies across clinical development, regulatory strategy, scientific workflows, operations and decision-making — and where the technology still falls short.
Join leaders from Mobia Medical, NEXT Life Sciences, NextGen Jane, and Richter Advisory Collective as they discuss the strategic decisions behind successful collaborations and share real-world lessons on building partnerships that create lasting value for patients, healthcare systems and shareholders.
This engaging session will include an overview of the current investment climate followed by a candid discussion among speakers from G2G Consulting, GCWC Capital, HSBC Innovation and Lake Street Capital Markets on the life science landscape. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the conversation, interact with key players and explore the future of life science through the lens of venture capital.
Unwind from a day of thought-provoking panel discussions and fireside chats and join fellow executives in continued conversations while you enjoy delicious refreshments. This reception provides an excellent opportunity to network with summit attendees and speakers one final time before the conference concludes.
