Fima Katz, CEO of EltegraAI, joins ConV2X 2026 in New York as a moderator, panel speaker and Venture2X startup pitch participant.

The two-day executive summit convenes multidisciplinary leaders to examine the decisions shaping healthcare and life sciences: where emerging tech improves outcomes, what evidence justifies deployment, who bears responsibility, and which innovations deserve continued investment. Healthcare's challenges can't be solved in silos.
