What Sets the CSCO Experience Apart
Member-Driven Content, Curated for CSCOs: All our meetings are built around the priorities that matter most to today’s healthcare CSCOs. Agendas are curated on content areas prioritized by leading health system Chief Supply Chain Officers. Members shape forum content to reflect their top priorities, such as enterprise-wide and clinical integration, efficiency, sustainability, waste reduction, and process optimization.
The Right People, in the Right Room: Attendees include health system CSCOs 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 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 CSCOs facing similar challenges.
Who Attends?
CSCO Forum attendees include CSCOs from the nation’s leading health systems, integrated delivery networks, and flagship hospitals across the country. Every participant is hand-selected to ensure purposeful conversations, strategic alignment, and mutual value, creating opportunities for candid peer engagement and shared problem-solving. On the health system side, attendees include Chief Supply Chain Officers from the nation’s leading health systems. These are the executives charged with strengthening supply chain resiliency and agility. On the industry side, participation is equally intentional. Attendees are limited to senior executives - typically CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, and heads of strategy or product - who are actively shaping the future of healthcare organization growth and interested in supply chain strength and viability.
