16th Annual Meeting

Healthcare is moving fast - and hospital and health system leaders are under pressure to deliver results amid rising complexity. From margin recovery and workforce sustainability to AI adoption and cybersecurity risk, the path forward demands clear strategy and decisive execution.

Becker’s 16th Annual Meeting convenes senior healthcare executives for four days of focused discussion, practical insight, and meaningful connection. Attendees will gain peer-tested strategies, forward-looking perspective, and the relationships needed to navigate what’s next and lead with confidence.

Executive-level networking with 3,500+ hospital and health system leaders, including CEOs, CFOs, CMIOs, CNOs, and service line executives shaping national strategy.
Unmatched scale and access with 840+ speakers and four days of high-impact discussions across the industry’s most pressing issues.
Four summits, one destination with dedicated forums for Academic Medical Centers, AI, Clinical Leadership, and Workforce, enabling both depth and cross-functional perspective.
Peer-tested strategies for margin recovery, workforce stabilization, AI integration, cybersecurity, and value-based care.
Practical playbooks you can take home, grounded in real-world execution from leading health systems, not theory.
Forward-looking insight on what’s next for healthcare, from care model redesign to digital governance and sustainable growth.
