Speakeasies

During major healthcare conferences, Ed hosts private speakeasies in a super casual space to get to have fun and get to know one another.

Why We Host These Gatherings

The most valuable conversations rarely happen on stage or inside conference halls.

They happened afterward, over dinner, in smaller rooms, and among people wanting to speak openly.

These gatherings are intentionally designed to create that kind of environment:

private
relationship-driven
conversation-first

No sales presentations. No sponsored panels.

Just meaningful dialogue among healthcare leaders.
