Agenda
Payer executives and health plan leaders at leading organizations come together to compare what is in motion, where they are investing in next, and how they are navigating change across their organizations.
More payer executives attend this conference than any other.
Focus Areas
Led by CEOs, COOs, CMOs, and payer leaders, these sessions focus on how organizations are prioritizing investment, navigating pressure, and making decisions across value-based care, affordability, and network strategy. Leaders move between conversations based on organizational priorities, rather than following a fixed path.
For leaders governing payer strategy, measuring ROI, and aligning teams around decisions that cut across clinical, network, and operations.
Sample topics: Value-Based Care Models · Benefit Design · Affordability, Price Transparency, Network Strategy
For payer finance leaders working through margin pressure, cost trends, and the operational decisions that define performance right now.
Sample topics: Cost Management, Price Transparency, Reimbursement, Network Contracting
For clinical and payer leaders making decisions about how value-based care takes shape across networks and members.
Sample topics: Behavioral Health Integration, Virtual Care, Care Coordination, Member Engagement
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.
