Welcome to the Wharton Health Care Business Conference

Mark Your Calendars!
The 2008 Wharton Health Care Business Conference will be held on February 21st-22nd at the Park Hyatt Bellevue in downtown Philadelphia.

The Wharton Health Care Business Conference is in its 14th year as the leading health care forum for industry professionals, academics, and students. The annual two-day event takes place every February in Philadelphia, PA, and typically draws over 600 attendees from across the nation. Corporate sponsors fund the conference's operations.

Last year's conference addressed the convergence of the many sectors of health care - pharmaceuticals coupling with medical devices, consumers partnering with managed care companies, and IT accelerating progress and coordination. While each industry segment faces unique challenges, more and more these challenges overlap. Health care organizations are increasingly shifting strategies to stay ahead of the curve, private equity funds are broadening their scope of investment opportunities, pharmaceutical manufacturers are investing heavily in biotechnology, while traditionally research-focused biotechnology companies are extending into the realm of commercialization. All of this change is taking place in the midst of dynamic and innovative US reform initiatives, and an increasing focus on global health.
