"The Behavioral Health Tech Conference is a unique opportunity
for innovators in behavioral and digital health to exchange their
experiences, insights, and ideas, driving us towards the goal of
better access and quality in mental and behavioral health care in
the U.S.," said Solome Tibebu,
founder and CEO, Behavioral Health Tech. "This year, we're
particularly excited about the new speaking programs we've
introduced and are eager to see the impactful changes they will
bring to our health systems and communities."
The 2023 conference sold out, and as a result, this year's event
has doubled in size to accommodate the outsized demand. In addition
to lively panel discussions on behavioral health, the conference
will recognize and celebrate the 2nd Annual Young Innovators in
Behavioral Health Award winners.
A portion of proceeds from all registrations during registration
will be donated to this year's non-profit grantee, the Institute
for Exceptional Care (IEC). The IEC's mission is to make healthcare
better and safer for people with intellectual and/or developmental
disabilities.
