The pace of change in health care has increased exponentially since our inaugural health care conference. In recent months, congress passed health care reform, but now continues to debate its future. We have officially entered a new era.

Fortunately, visionary leaders have been helping to shape this next phase of health care. Investments in innovation and quality have led to some very effective – and often surprising – ways to cut costs, reduce errors, increase service and satisfaction, and improve access and outcomes.

Bold initiatives such as these should be shared – especially during this transformative time, when we are all looking for fresh models of excellence.

The University of St. Thomas and its partners invite you to participate in an inspiring day of learning, sharing and strategizing about how we can leverage innovation and quality to thrive in the new health care environment.

Conference:
November 9, 2012
Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Life 3.0 is an innovation show by startups that change the way you live. Life 3.0 is the next era after Web 2.0, when internet comes off the screen and enters our lives. At this month's Life 3.o you will see by far the most innovative startups in augmented reality. Augmented reality is a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented such that you can walk down the street and see people's names written over their head, you can see who tweeted what in the nearby building, you can even see a vital wall with message right over the Golden Gate Bridge.
THE FORMAT

1. All startups will demo their products in demo booths
2. All attendees will be able to vote for startups
3. The top three winning startups will present to a panel of angel investors on stage
6:30pm - 8:30pm - Time to see all startups and vote on the ones you love
9:00pm - 9:30pm - See the star winners pitch to investors on stage
9:00pm - 9:30pm - Network with funders and founders


FOR EVERYONE
It might be easy to meet people, but finding the most innovative thinkers, the most inspired entrepreneurs and genius professionals is not commonplace. At Life 3.0 we are about gathering with a purpose - we come here to see the future we are building through companies that have a huge vision.


FOR STARTUPS
Life 3.0 is the place to attract new users, get press coverage, and negotiate funding. At Life 3.0 we bring together the latest and greatest startups and give them the platform to demo their products to early adopters, potential customers, media, and angels and VCs. The winners (top 3) will pitch from the stage to a panel of seven angels. The Startup's success all comes down to their ability to show their product.

The Women in Innovation Summit's (WINS 2012) agenda focuses on women's innovation and innovativeness in the areas of leadership, technology and social change. The topics of the talks and discussions will be about how we can actively innovate for the environmentally and economically sustainable future. Keynotes, dialogues, roundtables and group discussion create a dynamic forum for sharing best practices of leading and practicing innovation. Convening of the women leaders at WINS 2012 offers opportunities for collaboration and networking, and through live web casting we can include participants from all around the world.

WINS 2012 will show how women are innovating new ways of leading organizations, driving social change, and inventing new technologies. WINS 2012 will provide a platform for women leaders to share their visions for the future, and showcase their life-enhancing innovations for a more sustainable way of life.

WINS2012 is a space where hearts and minds will be ignited, and where tools and partners will be found. This is a new way of thinking about accomplishing innovation. This is a declaration for women's role in innovation.

Attendees of diverse backgrounds who have a common interest in how women's innovation in leadership, technology and social change can impact our economy will convene at the Intiman Theatre in Seattle on Saturday September 22, 2012. These will be visionary men and women with a passion for creating a better future for the next generation. Will you be one of them?

The thoughtful people who will attend WINS 2012 are leaders, technologists and social change agents who are ready to share their best thinking and practices for positive business and societal outcomes.

When you attend WINS2012 at the Seattle Center, you will be among some of the most outstanding women leaders in business, government, technology, science and social change. We will also invite a select group of aspiring young women leaders to participate.
