600+ Speakers — The Leaders Running Health Systems Today
The lineup at Becker’s 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health reflects the people making decisions inside major health systems right now. It includes CIOs, CFOs, CMOs, and digital executives responsible for AI, transformation, and financial performance. This is one of the few events where more hospital and health system executives are in the room than at any other conference. The same leaders you benchmark against are the ones on stage.
About the Room
Speakers come to be part of the conversations you need to be in
The roster is built around one question: who does this audience need in the room? Speakers are selected based on the decisions they own, the systems they run, and the peers they work alongside.
Over 90% of the speaker lineup is health system leaders and executives.
