Health Supernova 2026: Austin's Premier Health Tech Event (May 13-14)

Health Supernova is Austin's premier event for the health tech community — connecting founders, investors, clinicians, researchers, and industry leaders shaping the future of healthcare innovation. The 2026 edition expands to a full two-day format on May 13-14 at STATION Austin.

Conference Overview

Now in its expanded two-day format, Health Supernova is hosted by STATION Austin — the non-profit organization spun out of Capital Factory to carry forward Texas's most important entrepreneurship and innovation gatherings (alongside Fed Supernova and CF House at SXSW). The event brings together health tech founders, venture investors, practicing clinicians, academic researchers, and industry operators for two days of curated networking, programming, and collaboration. The two-day format means more time for the deep relationship-building that makes Health Supernova different from larger health conferences.

Key Topics & Industry Drivers

• AI in Healthcare Operations — voice agents, scheduling automation, patient engagement, and the front-office automation reshaping practice operations across dental, medical, and specialty care
• Digital Health Funding Landscape — Texas has emerged as a top-three health tech investment hub; investors and founders convene to discuss capital flows and category dynamics
• Clinician-Founder Collaboration — practicing clinicians partnering with technologists to build solutions that work in real clinical workflows, not just theory
• Healthcare Compliance & Trust — HIPAA, BAA, SOC 2, and the operational discipline required to deploy AI safely in patient-facing workflows
• Texas Health Tech Ecosystem — Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio's growing role in healthcare innovation, from early-stage startups to enterprise health systems

Main Players & Speakers

Health Supernova attracts the principals shaping Texas health tech: Capital Factory's investor network, leading health-focused VC firms, executives from major health systems (UT Health, Texas Medical Center, Ascension), and founders building category-defining companies in voice AI, patient engagement, clinical decision support, and digital therapeutics. Capital Factory's portfolio companies — including TensorLinks — are part of the founder community attending.

Why Attend?

• Curated networking — meet & greets specifically designed to convert quick hellos into actual partnerships
• Innovation Expo — hands-on access to the technology platforms shaping healthcare operations
• Two-day depth — the new format gives time for substantive 1:1 conversations rather than rushed booth visits
• Investor access — early-stage and growth-stage investors actively scouting Texas health tech
• Clinician + operator perspective — practicing clinicians and operations leaders ground the conversations in what actually works in practice

Who Should Attend

Health tech founders (early-stage to growth), health-focused investors, practicing clinicians (MDs, DDS, NPs, RNs), healthcare operations leaders, DSOs and health systems evaluating new technology, and industry partners building infrastructure for healthcare. Whether you're a first-time founder validating a pre-seed idea or an enterprise leader scouting for partnership opportunities, the curated format makes the room genuinely useful.
