Members shape forum content to reflect their top priorities, including digital transformation, enhancing interoperability, and building digital resilience.
The Right People, in the Right Room: Attendees include health system CMIOs from organizations like Mayo Clinic, Yale New Haven Health, Novant Health, and Intermountain, alongside key industry leaders - typically CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, and product and strategy executives. All participants are hand-selected based on their ability to contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
A Forum Built for Relationships: Reception-style dinners and informal social gatherings welcome friends and family and facilitate conversations, camaraderie and long-term relationship building.
