Hi there,

Last week, we shared a Collection of  companies exhibiting at the HIMSS healthcare conference, which unfortunately was cancelled. The companies are in our  Healthcare Conference Exhibitors Collection.

If these exhibitors represent potential investment, acquisition, or partnership targets, you can now: 

1. see them on CB Insights AND 

2. manage your entire M&A or investment dealflow pipeline on CBI.

Simply copy the relevant companies into your own Collection, add funnel stages, assign them to people on your team, and manage your entire workflow in 1 place.

To dig into the Healthcare Conference Exhibitors Collection, go here and then build your own Collection to manage your investment, M&A, or partner pipeline.
