About the event
There are many places to hear about the future of healthcare leadership. Becker’s 14th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable is where the people actually running health systems convene. This 4-day event is built specifically for CEOs, CFOs, presidents, and COOs. The sessions examine the strategic, financial and operational priorities shaping health systems. Becker’s is where candid discussions flourish and new ideas thrive.
Over 90% of speakers are health system leaders and providers. When someone on stage says; “here’s what we tried and what actually worked,” you’re hearing it from someone living the same reality you are.

Celebrity Keynotes

The leaders at Becker's 14th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable aren't waiting to see how things shake out. They're making decisions now and acting quickly to get ahead of the curve. Come with a plan for what you want to learn. Leave with the peers, the ideas, and the relationships to do it.
“These conferences are great because in a really short amount of time I can meet other people who do what I do in the industry. We can catch up and make sure we're all seeing the same things and hear new ideas and meet people at conferences like this who have innovation that we aren't doing ourselves. ”
