Overview
April 21, 2025 – Leading health and life sciences law firm McDermott Will & Emery will host its inaugural McDermott HealthEx event on May 6 – 9 in Nashville, Tennessee.
This event combines several of the Firm’s premier industry-leading healthcare programs to reflect increasing convergence in the healthcare industry and facilitate cross-sector collaboration. McDermott HealthEx spans three full days of networking, dealmaking, and substantive programming designed specifically for health and life sciences executives and operators, investors, investment bankers, and other vested stakeholders.
“We’re thrilled to finally launch the highly anticipated McDermott HealthEx. This truly ‘game changing’ event format will enable all major healthcare and life sciences players to convene in one venue to maximize their networking, deal-making and cross sub-sector collaboration opportunities. And where better than Nashville, the city that embodies the spirit of innovation and leadership in healthcare,” said McDermott Partner Jerry Sokol.
The programs included in this year’s McDermott HealthEx, all with industry leading faculty, are:
- The Hospitals and Health Systems Summit
- The PPM & ASC Symposium
- The Care Delivery and Payment Innovation Summit
- The Behavioral Health Forum
- The Pharma and MedTech Services Forum
- The Labs & Diagnostics Forum
- The Pharmacy, DME, and 340B Forum
- The Post Acute, Chronic Care, and Long-Term Care Services Forum
“It’s incredible that the inaugural McDermott HealthEx is coming right on the heels of opening our new McDermott Nashville office” added Ken Marlow, managing partner of McDermott’s Nashville office. “With so many Nashville-based healthcare companies, and the comprehensive sub-sector coverage of McDermott HealthEx, this will be a must-attend event for Nashville healthcare executives.”
McDermott frequently convenes industry groups at its events, fostering meaningful partnerships and thought leadership through premier conferences. In addition to McDermott HealthEx, the Firm hosted HPE Miami in March, which brought together more than 2,100 attendees to set the stage for healthcare private equity in 2025.
