Established in 2003 by Diane Daych and Mike Aspinwall of Conning Capital/Talcott Partners, the founding mission of Healthcare Leaders was to create an alternative to healthcare conferences hosted by bulge bracket, regional and specialist investment banking firms. As the best of these healthcare conferences lost focus or disappeared as a result of mergers and pressure to serve larger corporate clients, the Healthcare Leaders Conference in Dallas has become a welcome and worthy successor, serving growth companies and their sponsors within our sector. Focusing on the very best operating companies, investors, sponsors, speakers, and content, the Healthcare Leaders Conference has consistently distinguished itself. In 2007, SV Life Sciences became the Conference Host and Gene Hill, Darren Black, Tom Flynn, and Mike Balmuth continued the very best traditions of the conference, while taking the sponsor group and speakers to new heights. In 2017, Ross and Company took over as host and organizer of Healthcare Leaders. Our roster of HCL speakers, panelists, and event attendees continues to represent a “who’s who” from across the healthcare landscape; thought leaders and agents of change who, in our intimate setting, are uniquely accessible to all.
