HealthIMPACT brings healthcare leaders the knowledge and network they need to accelerate meaningful transformation.
We tired long ago of powerpoints and pitches; we create shared experiences that push boundaries, disrupt the status quo, and inspire meaningful action to improve healthcare. We use a combination of research, storytelling, matchmaking, and impeccable planning to deliver extraordinary live and virtual events that keep attendees, speakers, and sponsors coming back.
Since 2013 HealthIMPACT has hosted thousands of conversations on how to leverage technology to build a better, stronger, and more equitable healthcare system. Chaired by the incredible Shahid Shah the event is known as the NO BS event where Health IT leaders come to #GSD.
In March 2020 we took the conversation online and have hosted over 5,000 healthcare leaders for over 150 virtual conversations. While we are eager to return to in-person events, we are excited to be able to come together and share the incredible conversations with the entire healthcare community. To get access to all the content and the HealthIMPACT community join today.
