What Is Industry Convening?

If you’ve ever tried to engage with health system leaders, you’re familiar with the challenge of simply making contact. Cold outreach, crowded conferences, and fragmented decision-making often leave even the most innovative product and solutions discussions stalled.

For decades, a more intentional approach has existed; one that prioritizes trust and collaboration over transactional pitches. Industry Convening Forums and Collaboratives began in 1998 and have become the answer for building productive health system and industry partnerships.

THMA Forums and Collaboratives curate closed-door conversations that facilitate opportunities for our members to rise above commerce to collaborate on challenges in a trusted environment.

You may ask: "Isn't this just another industry conference?" No, it isn't.

THMA Forums and Collaboratives are reinventing how leading industry companies and the country’s largest health systems partner. There are no large, zoo-like conference halls. Instead, when you become a member, you’ll engage in intimate roundtable discussions with large health system CXO's you want to develop relationships with.  

Our Forums and Collaboratives create ideal environments where conversations naturally evolve into partnerships and are where C-suite health system leaders and industry executives meet face-to-face to discuss some of healthcare’s most pressing challenges and issues. 

How Does Industry Convening Work? 

With limited seats for industry members, THMA Industry Convening Forums and Collaboratives represent an opportunity for industry executives and health system CXOs to collaborate and gain fresh perspectives on challenges impacting healthcare.   

Here's What Makes Industry Convening Different: 

• Direct Engagement with Leading Health System CXOs: Health System CXO Forum members are exclusively CXOs and head of function. Industry attendees are typically CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, product and strategy executives. 

• Executive Leadership Focus: Agendas are curated to focus on content areas prioritized by Leading Health System CXOs and attendance is carefully calibrated to ensure the right mix of health systems and industry member executives. 

• Intimate Peer-centric Learning: Members participate in programs that foster uniquely transparent discourse by establishing a true peer network, creating intimate spaces for learning. 

• Equipping for Effective CXO Engagement: THMA provides ongoing access to timely research and insights to ensure industry members are briefed on relevant market intelligence, as well as persona-based priorities to maximize all Health System CXOs interactions.
