“This was my first Kayo conference and won’t be my last. I was excited to find a summit that is a trifecta of my passions and professional identity - women, healthcare, and M&A. The connections I made during the conference were fantastic and I expect to cross paths with many of them in the future. Kayo does an excellent job of fostering networking and collaboration among attendees.”
