CMO + CNO Summit
Monday, November 2, 2026
Chief medical officers and chief nursing officers sit at the center of healthcare delivery, safeguarding quality and safety, leading the clinical workforce, and translating enterprise strategy into care at the bedside. As the link between executive priorities and frontline execution, they shape the daily experience of clinicians and patients alike. Today, however, these leaders face persistent workforce instability, mounting financial pressure, the rapid adoption of clinical technology and AI, and rising expectations to improve outcomes and access without additional capacity.
This leadership summit brings together senior clinical executives from leading hospitals and health systems for a candid, peer-driven discussion on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of clinical leadership. Participants will exchange practical insights, tested strategies, and forward-looking perspectives on stabilizing the workforce, redesigning care models, and strengthening the alignment between clinical and financial priorities.
Convened alongside Becker's 14th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, the summit places clinical leaders in direct conversation with the executives and finance leaders shaping these same decisions.
