This isn't a generic conference add-on.

Every session, office visit, fireside chat, and introduction is curated around the delegation - your objectives, your stage, and what you need to make the US work. Three focused sessions (market entry, investment, brand awareness) plus founder office visits and fireside chats, all built with and for the group. High-touch, small-room, real conversations.

This is a working agenda. Session times and details may shift as we lock in final speakers and venues.

For those in the US

Connect with us in NYC

For US investors, operators, advisors, trade organisations, and service providers.

Australia's women's health ecosystem is producing seriously interesting companies. Backed by $160M in federal investment and a strong Medicare system that gives them real-world clinical validation before they ever land in the US.

We're running focused sessions across the week and need sharp people in the room:

Market entry - how AU companies break into the US
Investment - connecting founders with the right capital
Brand awareness - PR, media, and getting noticed stateside

We're also running office visits and fireside chats throughout the week. If you want to meet these companies, we'll make the right intros.
