For the past 21 years, Columbia Business School has been committed to fostering a critical and transformative dialogue about the future of healthcare.

Last year, we focused on innovation in mental health, women’s health, AI diagnostics, and personalized care. This year, we are proud to focus on the theme Empowering Healthcare’s Next Frontier. The conversation will tackle issues that are top of mind in the healthcare industry and innovations that are driving change. In particular, leaders will discuss the changing employer health benefits landscape, leveraging consumer health in managing chronic disease, scaling AI-driven drug discovery, and expanding healthcare access to underserved communities.

This year’s conference will also include a start-up expo, a case competition, and a networking reception with students, alumni, and industry professionals.

Join us this February as we celebrate 21 years of engaging discussions with thought leaders at the cutting edge of healthcare.
