Agenda
Behavioral health executives and health system leaders at leading organizations come together to compare what is in motion, where they are investing next, and how they are navigating change across their organizations.
More behavioral health executives attend this conference than any other.
Focus Areas
Led by CEOs, CMOs, COOs, and behavioral health leaders, these sessions focus on how organizations are prioritizing investment, navigating pressure, and making decisions across access, workforce, and financial strategy. Leaders move between conversations based on organizational priorities, rather than following a fixed path.
For leaders governing behavioral health strategy, measuring ROI, and aligning teams around decisions that cut across clinical, workforce, and operations.
Sample topics: Access Expansion · Workforce Stability · Care Integration, Financial Strategy, Regulatory Pressures
For finance and operations leaders working through margin pressure, payer scrutiny, and the operational decisions that define performance right now.
Sample topics: Reimbursement Pressure, Payer Scrutiny, Cost Management, Regulatory Compliance
For clinical and administrative leaders making decisions about how integration takes shape across behavioral health, primary care, and acute settings.
Sample topics: Care Coordination, Clinical Integration, Outcomes, Patient Access
Program
Each day is anchored by key conversations, with time between sessions for the discussions that shape how ideas are applied. Some of the most valuable moments happen outside the session room, in the exhibit hall, over lunch, and between meetings.
