Pre-Conference Audio Interview

by Avery Swett and Hannah Wynnyk | Kayo 2026 Healthcare PE Summit Preview

In this pre-conference interview, the LevinPro HC team sat down with Hannah Wynnyk, President and COO of Kayo Conference Series, to discuss the upcoming 2nd Annual Healthcare PE Summit.

The summit is set for June 22-23 at the InterContinental at the Wharf in Washington, D.C. It’s widely recognized as a leading event for women in healthcare investing, pulling together investors, operators, lenders and advisors for panels, fireside chats and curated networking throughout the event.

A standout feature this year is the summit’s location in Washington, D.C. Wynnyk explained that hosting the event in the policy capital allows for more timely and relevant conversations around regulatory issues, while the vibrant, very walkable Wharf district makes it easy for attendees to continue discussions outside the formal sessions.

In our conversation with her, Wynnyk shared her personal journey into the events world and how it shaped her leadership at Kayo, an organization that has spent more than a decade promoting women in finance. She highlighted the noticeable increase in women stepping into leadership roles in healthcare private equity and the impact their perspectives are having on deal-making and value creation. She also spoke about how community support helps women navigate the industry and advance into bigger roles.

As a final note for attendees, Wynnyk touched on the importance of intentional networking in today’s selective market and described what first-time attendees can expect from the event’s welcoming and productive atmosphere. The smaller scale and curated format make it easier to have meaningful conversations that often extend well beyond the two days of the summit.

Whether you’re looking to expand your network, hear fresh viewpoints from women leaders or better understand the current healthcare private equity landscape, this pre-conference interview offers a preview of why the Kayo 2026 Healthcare Private Equity Summit stands out.
