The event will take place at the Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop, Wash., and feature startup pitch events with three spine-focused startups as well as talks from entrepreneurs and investors.
“Since its inception, the Mazama Spine Summit has been focused on innovation within the spine industry,” said Richard Wohns, MD, JD, MBA, founder of Mazama Spine Summit. “I am pleased to take this to a new level with a pre-conference event centered around startups driving deep innovation into our specialty. I am excited to have AngelMD bring the education and engagement that is central to their online community.”
The summit is designed for spine surgeons and specialists to engage in networking opportunities and enjoy events such as snowshoeing, sleigh rides and wine and chocolate tasting. The event will also include keynote speaker Art Wolf, a famous photographer who was part of an Everest climb in the 1980s that also included Dr. Wohns.
