As this year’s Co-Chairs, it is our honor to invite you to join us at the 2019 PACT Capital Conference. This is the 26th capital conference, and it is appropriately taking place on September 26 at Xfinity Live! in Philadelphia. The PACT Capital Conference has been uniting key players from the private equity, venture capital, and entrepreneurial communities for more than a quarter century. This event offers attendees access to emerging companies from the Mid-Atlantic region, networking opportunities with the dynamos of the VC community, as well as educational panels and content sessions. As the oldest and most established venture conference in the Northeast, the conference draws more than 1,000 participants each year and serves as a catalyst for billions of dollars in venture funding and entrepreneurial success in our region. This year’s theme, “Building equity; fueling success,” is a nod to the evidence that shows that businesses with greater diversity at the executive and board levels fuel greater success and deliver more equity to shareholders. With our theme in mind, we reached out to more diverse investors and entrepreneurs than ever before, including a lioness who will join us in the “Lion’s Den.” The 2019 PACT Capital Conference will include: − Expanded Industry Pitches – In addition to pitches from the region’s most promising emerging healthcare and technology companies, we will also showcase companies within the social impact, university and international arenas. - “Lion’s Den” – Select companies will present to a panel of distinguished angel investors looking to commit a check on the spot to power entrepreneurial ventures. Last year’s Lion’s Den led to more than $4 million closed in aggregate. − Dynamic Keynote Speakers – Former Philadelphia Eagles (and Villanova Wildcat) running back Brian Westbrook will take the stage, as well as Natalie Nixon, Ph.D, design thinking guru. − Expert Panelists – Providing opportunities to increase understanding of the latest trends and best practices within healthcare and technology/early stage ventures plus a new investor-focused panel that is not to be missed. − Gala Reception – Lauded as the year’s premier networking event for the region’s entrepreneurial and investment community. On behalf of Duane Morris, our fellow sponsors, PACT committee members, and the entire PACT community, we are excited to invite you to this dynamic event. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Everyday Analytics panel discussion will bring together industry experts to talk about practical ways companies can be more analytical and data aware. We will focus on such things as segmentation (e.g. how to break down something into more manageable chunks like customers or markets) and efficiency (e.g. how to focus on the important stuff or get the most out of the resources you have). Representatives on the panel will come from both the user’s and provider’s perspectives. For the users; how we solved the problem, what tools we used. For the providers; look at all these great tools out there that make tackling this problem easy. The goal is to provide information that is actionable not theoretical.
