These members shape forum content to reflect their top priorities including data-driven strategies, consumer loyalty, driving greater patient engagement, and updates from our Washington policy research team.

  • The Right People, in the Right Room: Attendees include health system C-suite executives from organizations like Mayo Clinic, Yale New Haven Health, Novant Health, and Intermountain, alongside key industry leaders - typically CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, Chief Marketing Officers 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 long-term relationship building.

  • True Partnership: This is a peer-to-peer forum. The industry executives who attend this event want to listen, contribute insights, and build lasting connections with health system CXOs facing similar challenges.
