RETREAT TO NASHVILLE

Components of Connect

Collaborate with C-Suite Leaders

Team collaboration dramatically increases the potential for meaningful change. That atmosphere is enhanced by the convening of CEOs and C-Suite executives from providers, payers, and life science organizations, along with technology leaders, investors, innovators, and policymakers from across the industry. 

Music City USA

Some of the most notable music was written in Nashville. That same cultural and artistic creativity can fuel the mission to rewrite health care. Connect will be held at the JW Marriott. When the need arises to recharge, the venue is close to Music City Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the famed honky-tonks of Lower Broadway.
