Healthcare transformation is accelerating, and leaders are reimagining care models, staffing strategies, and health equity solutions to strengthen outcomes. Hospital margins are climbing, AI is integrating fast, and clinicians continue to face burnout—but big questions remain. What’s next for value-based care? How can hospitals safeguard against cyber threats? Who are the best partners to tackle major operational challenges?

Becker’s 16th Annual Meeting has your back.

Across four days of expert-led discussions, we’ll explore the key issues shaping healthcare’s future. Gain exclusive insights, connect with leaders nationwide, and leave with actionable strategies to drive your organization forward.
