DaisyAI Relevance
Wednesday is light — half day, mostly showcase and wrap-up. The real value is:
- Last chance show floor conversations (8:00 - 12:00). Hit any booths you missed.
- Investor Connect still running (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM). Use the matchmaking app for any remaining investor meetings.
- Startup Pitch Competition — see how others position, network with judges.
- Beyond the Pilot Trap (Malibu 9:30) — worth attending for the VC/health system buying perspective.
Main priority: Use Wednesday morning for follow-up conversations with people you met Mon/Tue but didn't get enough time with. Hallway conversations > sessions on the last day.
