SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpringTide Ventures, a leader in early-stage Health Tech venture capital, today announced Wave 2024. Scheduled for October 2-3, 2024, in Alta, Utah, this annual meeting convenes the top 100 leaders in healthcare to dive deeply into the most impactful emerging technologies, policies, and models of care and payment.

“Wave provides something that the larger industry conferences no longer provide: The opportunity for the most forward-thinking C-level executives to meet as a society of peers to learn from each other in a private, relaxed environment,” said Austin Walters, CEO of SpringTide. “We are excited about the future of healthcare and believe the insights and connections formed at Wave will help to accelerate the future.”
