Presenting Companies: What to Expect

Presenting Companies

In 2026, nearly 40 presenting health innovation companies will take the stage at the Grand Hyatt Vail, representing Colorado and the broader Rocky Mountain West.

Colorado raised a record-setting $3.2 billion in 2025. The 2026 conference builds on that capital momentum for companies ready to grow, partner, and scale.

If your company is advancing strong science, executing with clarity, and preparing for its next capital milestone, we encourage you to apply. We also encourage emerging life sciences companies not actively raising to take part in the Rocky Mountain Life Sciences Investor & Partnering conference for education and networking opportunities.
