All members of HealthLeaders Exchanges are carefully selected and recruited by our editorial staff. The roster of members from the Exchange is usually typical of the diversity of health systems represented at the event.

We ask that all invited members of the HealthLeaders Exchange consider their schedules very carefully before committing to this unique program. Our events are intentionally built around a limited number of participants, and the attendance of all invited members is critical. We recognize, of course, that emergencies do arise in the leadership of healthcare systems, so in the event that a member must cancel within 60 days of the event we may ask that the health system provide a replacement with an identical title. If no such replacement exists, we ask that members cover any non-reimbursable travel expenses.

Of course. We encourage spouses to come along and enjoy the beautiful resort. Spouses are welcome to attend event dinners, receptions, and activities. We do ask that members cover airfare expenses for their spouse.

Our conference resort has a limited block of rooms available for those members who wish to extend their stay at the conference rate but at member expense. Our team will be happy to assist you in making arrangements to extend your stay.

You do. Invited and confirmed members of the Exchange are surveyed on their top strategic priorities and the agenda is based on those responses.

Our sponsor partners enable us to offer our program at no charge to healthcare leaders. We ask that each attending Exchange member attend a single 90-minute session with one of our event sponsors and four of your health system peers. It’s an educational opportunity for both member and sponsor, not a pitch session. All sponsors are coached by us and sessions are evaluated by the members.

No preparation is required. The unique format of HealthLeaders Exchanges is built around a series of small executive roundtables of eight to 12 members, moderated by a HealthLeaders senior editor. Program guides are sent prior to the event so executives can familiarize themselves with what the discussions will cover. We do offer the chance for leaders to volunteer to present an initiative or innovation at the Ideas Breakfast.
