A message from one of our senior conference producers

Welcome to the second edition of our Women’s Health Insights Series newsletter! A lot has happened since our last edition in April…

We had the privilege of organizing the second Women’s Health Innovation Summit EU, where over 250 people came together in-person to explore ground breaking ideas. Additionally, our one-day event in London centred around the UK’s Women’s Health Strategy garnered huge interest from the broader women’s health community. We also headed to New York City for the inaugural Femtech & Consumer Innovation Summit.

All of these events were incredible for facilitating connections, networking, and knowledge-sharing. But as we all know, in-person events are not the sole means of driving insights, building connections, and nurturing innovation, and we were delighted with how many of you were excited to be involved in this newsletter, which truly highlights the importance of sharing the latest insights, news, and perspectives from within the industry, by the industry, and for the industry.

We are excited about the continued growth of our community and the collective commitment to advancing women's health. Together, we can create a brighter and healthier future for all. Thank you to all our partners and contributors for being an integral part of this incredible journey.

Stay tuned for more captivating content and updates in edition #3! Don't hesitate to reach out to me directly.
