Description

Saskatoon health care providers, entrepreneurs, business professionals, financiers, software engineers, securities lawyers and accountants, can’t miss the "Getting to Great" healthcare conference on Oct 19-20th, 2015.

The health care sector can be more than just a cost centre for Saskatchewan - it's a global market worth trillions. Can Saskatchewan be a centre of innovation that draws world class talent to create the next important breakthroughs and take those to the international health marketplace?

Join us for two days of exciting panels featuring Health Minister Dustin Duncan, Saskatchewan Physician of the Year Dr. Jenny Basran, Dr. Kelly Emerton (Cleveland Clinic), Dr. David Delaney (SAP), and a dozen other local, national, and international thought leaders.

Tickets only $199 for the conference, including welcome reception dinner with Minister Duncan.

It's a turning point in Saskatoon’s tech history and you can’t afford to miss it.

“10-20-200” is our goal: 20 high growth companies creating 200 high paying jobs in the next 10 years can translate into $30 million in payroll, $300 million to $3 billion in economic spin-offs
