The SX Health & MedTech Expo is the place to interact and interface with innovative technologies that are changing the face of health and healthcare. Building on the success of last year's inaugural SX Health & MedTech Expo, the Expo showcases even more exhibitors, from young startups to global giants, who are bringing these innovations to market. Health & MedTech is an integral part of SXSW Interactive, converging on many of the conversations discussed at SXSW: Sports, food and nutrition, Gaming, Style, policy, social good, etc. The SX Health & MedTech Expo enables these companies to interact with the SXSW community to create new opportunities, collaborations and innovations.
