Welcome to the 2024 Health Evolution Connect!

We encourage you to take advantage of this time away from your every day responsibilities to connect – and reconnect – with other future-minded leaders across the health care industry. We have designed Connect to build on the renowned Health Evolution Summit by probing critical emerging issues and challenges in health care with the same intensity and candor, but with a particular focus on the pathways for change and transformation. Explore the site for more information about the agenda, speakers, and community. We look forward to seeing you in Nashville!

Health & Safety

Your health and safety are important to us. We continue to monitor COVID-19 and will follow health safety guidelines from the WHO and CDC, as well as applicable federal, state, and local laws.

  • While we are not requiring vaccinations in order to attend Connect in person, we strongly encourage all attendees to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
  • COVID-19 Testing. We ask all attendees to self-test before arriving in Nashville. If you have cold or flu-like symptoms or test positive for COVID-19, please stay home. Once at Connect, complimentary COVID-19 rapid antigen tests will be available to registered attendees upon request.
  • While face masks are not currently required in Nashville venues, we will have face masks, hand sanitizers, and COVID tests available upon request at the registration desk.

Social Media Guidelines

While Connect is a private, invitation-only event that is closed to outside media, we do encourage you to leverage this experience to responsibly expand the discussion through social media channels, including LinkedIn and blogs.

As a courtesy to your peers — and with the understanding that this safe space is needed to openly discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead — we strongly request that you honor a few social media guidelines:

The Golden Rule. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Chatham House Rule. Think cautiously about attributing quotes or paraphrases. Under no circumstance should something “overheard” be attributed to an individual without permission.
The New York Times Rule. Avoid writing anything you wouldn’t want to see on the cover of The New York Times.

Connect Attire

Connect is intended to be a comfortable and casual urban retreat. Attendees typically wear blazers, dresses, collared shirts and blouses, slacks, or jeans (no ties!).
