Introducing RESI AI and RESI Longevity

Life Science Nation (LSN) renames its two newest conferences under the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) banner. This conference series has provided early-stage life science entrepreneurs a space dedicated to their fundraising efforts through connecting them with partners and capital that are a fit for their product and stage of development. Through the years, LSN has worked with thousands of executives in their search for partnerships, and the secret has always been that it all comes down to finding that right fit. In order to help target these elusive matches, LSN spun two sister conferences, 4D Meets AI and Longevity, Health and Innovation, now RESI AI and RESI Longevity respectively, out of the RESI conference series, designed to further narrow down the early-stage life science players, based on technology and indication.

4D Meets AI has focused on connecting entrepreneurs using AI technology to advance drugs, devices, diagnostics, and digital health (4Ds) with investors and partners actively seeking AI applications in their themes and portfolios. Longevity, Health & Innovation, co-organized with Mary Furlong & Associates, is a space for fundraising executives targeting diseases that disproportionately affect aging populations to connect with capital and resources specifically in age-tech.

These two conferences are designed to create a more intimate atmosphere within the RESI partnering ecosystem. Each invites a unique attendee, yet both are a digital partnering conferences advancing the mission of the RESI series – to connect technology in life science and health care with well-fitting capital and channel partners – which is why they return this fall as RESI AI and RESI Longevity.

RESI Longevity and RESI AI both take place September 16-17 as two-day digital partnering conferences. Each will feature their own unique lineups of Investor Panels, Educational Workshops, Innovator’s Pitch Challenges and Premier Partnering Platforms.
