BELFAST-based Global Health Connector late today completed its Global Health Connectors Summit II, an event held in collaboration with the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, the latter led by CEO Stephanie Coleman.
The event was supported by a local committee that included Chamber SVP Lori Odom, who is SVP of economic development and international business; Eric Thrailkill, who is the Nashville-based executive director for U.S. operations of Global Health Connector; John Scannapieco, a partner in Womble Bond Dickinson and honorary consul from Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Tennessee; Chase Spurlock of Decode Health; and, among others, Gracie Francis, who is talent executive with Caduceus Talent, an affiliate of Nashville-based Caduceus Capital.
As this bulletin is published, many of the 350 registrants of the event are in a closing event in Nashville's Cannery Hall.
