Advanced Analytics Collaborative - 2026 Healthcare Analytics Conference
June 1-3, 2026
Carlsbad, CA
Engage Directly with Health System Leaders
The Health Management Academy’s Advanced Analytics Collaborative brings together Chief Data and Analytics Officers from leading health systems with senior industry executives for in-depth dialogue on the future of healthcare analytics. Discussions focus on clinical transformation, AI/ML integration, data governance, population health, workforce engagement, and data literacy addressed through peer-driven, transparent exchange.
With a strict 1:1 health system-to-industry ratio, the Collaborative creates an intimate environment for strategic conversations and meaningful relationships. Programs are designed by members around real-time challenges, avoiding transactional formats or vendor halls in favor of candid, solution-focused engagement.
Upcoming Event Dates and Locations
The Advanced Analytics Collaborative is hosted twice a year in thoughtfully selected locations across the country. Each event is timed to align with evolving industry priorities and provides a fresh opportunity to reconnect with peers, gain new insights, and advance your healthcare financial strategy.
