Startup & Growth Fair

Meet & greet companies and Kellogg students at the leading edge of healthcare innovation

The Startup & Growth Fair (SGF) will take place during the day before the Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference on Friday February 13th, 2026 from 12:00 - 3:00PM CT in the White Auditorium at the Kellogg Global Hub.

Access to SGF is provided via your KBHC ticket (2026 Tickets Coming Soon). However, Kellogg students have free admission and do not require a KBHC ticket to attend! Dress code is business casual.

Last year, SGF featured 20+ innovative companies, including a mix of both startup and growth-stage companies across digital health, biotechnology, diagnostics, medical devices, payers, and providers. SGF serves as a “talent marketplace” designed to connect Kellogg students with companies that are looking for MBA talent.

Do you work at a healthcare startup? We are looking for companies to participate in this year’s Startup and Growth Fair - this event is free for all participating startups and includes one complimentary ticket to the larger Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference the following day. Please reach out to geralyn.lam@kellogg.northwestern.edu and john.syme@kellogg.northwestern.edu if you are interested or have any questions.
