The Future of Healthcare Symposium:
Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Our annual Future of Healthcare Symposium brings together influential thinkers and experienced practitioners. Our discussions center on the innovations and challenges—be they technological, ethical, or controversial—facing today's healthcare sector.
Our theme, Turning Challenges into Opportunities, explores how the healthcare industry is dealing with rising costs and demands for improved quality of care. The ever-increasing dynamic future for healthcare will rely on new markets like precision medicine and the rapid growth of technology. This year's symposium will bring together specialists with diverse perspectives to provide insight into the direction of the healthcare industry and the impact that direction has on the quality of care. The role of specific factors such as demographics, value-based care, and the desire to age-in-place will all be discussed.
