2026 Summit
The financial, operational, and policy headwinds health care CEOs face aren’t cyclical challenges to weather; they’re a clear message that the whole system must change—and fast. Yet, with necessity comes opportunity. As the reins increasingly shift to the private sector, what would happen if health care leaders collectively rejected incrementalism and embraced bold, system-wide innovation and collaboration? In this pivotal moment, how can CEOs lead courageously and harness today’s turmoil to drive tomorrow’s transformation?
The 2026 Summit is a call to rethink, realign, and respond—with the conviction that CEOs have the agency and opportunity to build a better future. Discussions will focus on topics such as:
- Special Summit Intensive: Shaping the Future of Health AI
- The Coverage Cliff: Navigating Medicaid, Exchanges, and the Future Insurance Landscape
- Avoiding The Access Abyss: Protecting Patients from Health Care’s Big Squeeze
- From Self-Interest to Shared Purpose: Restoring Civility and Unlocking Real Collaboration
- The Great Privatization of Public Health: Who Fills the Gaps in a Fractured System?
- New Era of Proactive Care: Prioritizing Prediction, Prevention, and Early Intervention
- Perspectives from the Forefront: Fireside Chat on the Innovation and Policy Landscape
- Confab Advancing Women in Leadership and other special sessions for Health Evolution Fellows
Change in health care is made together, and it starts here at the Summit.
