We are excited to announce the 16th annual Summer Social, featuring keynote speaker Kenneth Kim, Senior Economist at KPMG LLP, and Lightning Pitches from companies in the Life Sciences and Medical Device sectors.
Each company will have one minute and one slide to present its value proposition, and ample networking opportunities with the companies and other attendees will be available.
Renowned as one of the year's most-attended NEHEN gatherings, the Summer Social allows health innovation professionals to converge and discover the latest and most exciting developments in the local biotech, medtech, pharma, and health IT sectors.
Kenneth is a Senior Economist at KPMG LLP. He brings his depth and knowledge to help KPMG leadership and clients assess the constantly evolving U.S. and international economic environment.
