A national femtech summit to amplify evidence-based innovation, connect the people building a better table for women's health, and craft the next wave of what the femtech industry can become.

We have all heard the claim that "we don't know anything about women's bodies." With respect, we strongly disagree.

Although women's health has historically been under‑resourced, extraordinary scientists, clinicians, and innovators have spent decades advancing the field anyway. They have built better technologies, strengthened evidence‑based care, developed new treatments, and pushed women's health innovation forward despite systemic barriers.

It is time to build with them, not around them.

Femtech Connect 2026 is a national summit created to highlight the evidence‑based, innovation already transforming women's health and to connect the people shaping what comes next. The event will bring together founders, funders, clinicians, scientists, systems thinkers, policymakers, researchers, advocates, and emerging innovators who share a vision for the future of femtech.

The past decade has shown what femtech can achieve. The decade ahead must focus on the infrastructure, partnerships, investment, and evidence required to create meaningful impact and close longstanding gaps in women's health.

Femtech Connect 2026 will spotlight the innovators who are already driving progress across the sector. The summit will feature high‑impact speakers, evidence‑based discussions, emerging and established femtech companies, opportunities for new innovators to showcase their ideas, and intentional networking designed to spark meaningful connection.

Femtech Connect is a call to build a stronger future for women's health innovation, one rooted in evidence, collaboration, and action.
