Events
Share What You Know Sessions
We are trialling a new thing called Share What You Know sessions. These will be organised by Talking HealthTech, but hosted by other THT+ Members and an opportunity to share their own experiences, expertise and learnings in a particular area, which will hopefully help others in the community.
They will be 30-45 minute Zoom sessions - informal, but high impact and meaningful.
We're hoping that everyone can take away a few tactical and actionable insights that they can implement back in their own business.
Just another way your THT+ Membership is helping collaboration within the Aussie healthtech scene!
