The Woz is coming to Philly next Spring

Philly-based InstaMed, maker of a top healthcare payments platform, announced Steve Wozniak — Apple cofounder also known as “The Woz” — as headliner of its upcoming conference.

Happening April 9 to 11, the InstaMed User Conference will rally healthcare “providers, payers and partners” to talk trends in the healthcare space.

“Steve Wozniak has been a huge influence in my personal journey with technology and entrepreneurship,” said Bill Marvin, president and CEO of InstaMed. “I still have programs I wrote on the Apple II as a fifth grader back in the early 1980s, and I have followed his journey closely as an example of a true innovator. I am thrilled to announce Mr. Wozniak as the keynote speaker at the InstaMed User Conference 2018.”

In a press release, the Woz praised the company’s “steadfast focus on innovating around healthcare payments, a historically confusing and painful aspect of the healthcare experience.”

There’s an open call for speakers now, deadlined Dec. 15.
