"Teaming up with BIO will give Digital Health Summer Summit attendees unprecedented access to decision makers at biotech and pharmaceutical companies who attend the BIO International Convention," said Jill Gilbert of Living in Digital Times, producer of the DHSS.  "Our attendees will also have the opportunity to utilize BIO's proprietary online business development tool, One-on-One Partnering™, to identify potential partners and schedule meetings with them in advance."   

The annual BIO International Convention attracts more than 15,000 attendees, with 40 percent at the managing director level or higher.  An impressive 29,000-plus business meetings were arranged through BIO's One-on-One Partnering™ system and held at the convention over the course of just three days in 2015.

"Two years ago, we recognized the need to add a digital health track to our convention offerings, as more and more of our members are interested in learning how digital health will benefit their businesses," said Sarah Arth, Managing Director, Industry & Event Education, BIO.  "This year, we've partnered with Living in Digital Times, the experts who have been tracking this space closely and delivering provocative conference content year after year, to give our attendees an even deeper understanding of the issues at stake and the opportunity to network with digital health influencers."

BIO invited DHSS as a marquis producer to put a spotlight on the emerging future of digital health: the latest in AI, virtual reality, deep cognitive learning, robotics, personalized medicine, digital diagnostics and therapeutics, workplace health wearables, internet of health things and more.

This year's DHSS will focus on "Igniting the Tipping Point" in digital health with two full immersive days of keynotes and panel discussions on Monday, June 6^th and Tuesday, June 7^th.  BIO's digital health track will follow on Wednesday, June 8^th and Thursday, June 9^th.

The DHSS conference content will tackle four key areas:

• Real-world business case studies from established digital health companies with strong footholds in transforming the system
• Curated tools necessary to grow roots in this industry and elevate one's business
• Revelation of the most promising markets and opportunities on which to capitalize
• Creating partnerships required for every stakeholder's success
