JOIN US IN DALLAS!
Please join us for our 22nd Annual Healthcare Leaders Conference on Monday, October 6 and Tuesday, October 7 in Dallas, Texas. This invitation-only event will once again bring together the most important investors, CEOs, and innovators who are shaping the future of healthcare for two days of thought-provoking conversation, connection, and insight.
For the first time in over two decades, we are excited to announce new venues for this year’s gathering. On Monday evening, we will kick things off with networking cocktails and dinner at the iconic Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek—a five-star Dallas landmark known for its timeless elegance, award-winning cuisine, and rich history as a private estate.
— NEW VENUE EXPERIENCE IN 2025 —
On Tuesday morning, we will take a short shuttle ride to Old Parkland, a beautifully restored historic former hospital campus. With its striking architecture, world-class facilities, and a legacy rooted in care and innovation, this venue provides an inspiring backdrop for the conversations to come.
Tuesday begins with a leadership breakfast, followed by panels and presentations from leading voices across healthcare and private equity. Topics will range from the intersection of government and defense healthcare to cutting-edge developments in behavioral health outcomes measurement, to AI and innovations reshaping the future of healthcare delivery.
— AN AFTERNOON OF ADVENTURE —
...or to take part in an exciting Texas afternoon experience featuring a group tour of the National Medal of Honor Museum and other immersive group activities.
This will be an afternoon designed for connection, camaraderie, and adventure. The day will conclude with a festive dinner —bringing everyone back together to unwind, reflect, and connect!
