About the Forum
Leading Clinical Teams At Scale
The Becker's CMO + CNO Summit brings together chief medical officers and chief nursing officers from health systems nationwide to tackle the clinical, operational and workforce challenges defining hospital leadership in 2026. Session tracks cover the highest-stakes issues facing the C-suite: closing the nursing skill gap, scaling AI adoption across physicians and nurses, redesigning the patient journey for the digital age, and strengthening the CMO-CNO dyad to drive measurable clinical results.
Confirmed speakers represent leading health systems including Henry Ford Health, Memorial Hermann Health System, RWJBarnabas Health, Sentara, Duke University Health System, Mayo Clinic, Tampa General Hospital, Houston Methodist, City of Hope, SSM Health, UnityPoint Health and Intermountain Health. Sessions dig into practical strategies for OR economics, managing uninsured and underinsured populations, building the next generation of nurse leaders, and moving care safely out of the hospital.
