12 Experts across healthcare, public health and academia

Meet the leading voices shaping the future of health systems. Twelve experts joining together to cover a wide range of topics including:

  • Diagnostics as a system design lever to expand access and strengthen workforce capacity

  • Leadership alignment between strategy, workforce reality, and performance

  • Rethinking workforce signals and structural barriers to sustainable impact

  • Operational resilience and turning emerging risk into organizational strength

  • Scaling what works by addressing systemic constraints

  • AI readiness and governance for healthcare and public health leaders

  • Budget constraints and staffing challenges forcing medical providers to rethink resource allocation in infection prevention

  • Operational efficiency and collaboration with surgical services

  • Designing systems that thrive amid uncertainty

Why This Event Matters 

Most events keep leaders in silos: executive events for executives, public health conferences for public health professionals, clinical events for clinical providers, infection prevention events for infection prevention professionals, and tech events for technologists. The 2026 Strategic Systems Summit is different. It’s the first of its kind designed to convene these groups at the same table to address alignment, workforce sustainability, AI readiness, and system resilience together.

By participating, attendees align with other forward-thinking leaders who are actively redesigning how healthcare works under real‑world pressure. 

Frequently Asked
Questions

1 / What makes this Summit different from other healthcare conferences?

Most events are siloed. This is the first event bringing healthcare executives, public health and operations leaders together to solve alignment, workforce strain, system drift, and AI readiness as one system, not siloed tracks. This is a systems leadership summit, not a clinical or technical event.

Most events talk about “resilience” and “innovation” in isolation. 
This Summit is built around:

  • Alignment across roles: executives, public health, IPC, operations, and technology leaders together.

  • System‑level thinking: governance, incentives, workflows, workforce structures.

  • AI is discussed as a systems issue, not just a tech issue.

  • Practical, “Monday‑ready” tools and frameworks
for registered attendees and event sponsors.

2 / Will the event be interactive?

Yes. This Summit includes live Q&A, limited‑capacity speaker‑led networking sessions, and invite‑only roundtables with limited space for healthcare executives, public health leaders, and operations leaders (patient safety, quality, clinical, and infection prevention). 

3 / What is the ROI of attending this Summit?

You’ll leave with frameworks to improve alignment, resilience, workforce sustainability, risk readiness, and AI decision-making, practical tools you can use immediately.

4 / Can I attend if I’m not an executive?

Yes. This event is focused on breaking down silos and promotes leadership alignment to achieve long-term results. We encourage healthcare executives, public health decision-makers and other system-level leaders in quality, patient safety and infection prevention to join. 

5 / What if I can’t attend live?

Registered attendees get full access to session recordings, the Summit Resource Hub, and bonus materials. Live networking and invite‑only roundtables are limited‑space experiences, so attending live offers the fullest value.

6 / How do I join sessions?

You’ll receive an access link and can save sessions to your calendar after registration.
