In the current economic and investing climate, healthcare continues to attract investor interest as demographic, technological and public policy factors create new opportunities and challenges. CVG and ACG-CT have invited a distinguished roster of experienced investors and innovative entrepreneurs to discuss how these factors and economic conditions are impacting investment decisions. Panel members will focus on Early Stage Opportunities in a marketplace undergoing significant change and a Late Stage panel will address strategic options for established firms seeking continued growth.

In addition to his post at Sonecon, Dr. Shapiro is also a Senior Fellow of the Progressive Policy Institute.
