“Our goal for the Summit is to showcase meaningful innovations in healthcare, explore what new disruptions are likely to come next, and share leadership lessons learned regarding transforming your business during times of major change,” says Terry Stone, global managing partner of Oliver Wyman’s Health & Life Sciences practice. “The converging forces of a true ‘retail’ consumer market and emerging digital innovations will disrupt traditional healthcare on par with what ATMs did to banking, Netflix to video entertainment, or Uber to the taxi industry.”

The two-and-a-half days of sessions directly focus on the four forces that will accelerate the shift to Health Market 2.0, which include the underlying leadership imperative. Attendees will gain a 360-degree view of the future of healthcare through a dynamic agenda that includes:

• Experiential exhibits of today’s most innovative models presented by Independence Blue Cross, Comcast, Optum, Rite Aid and HealthSpot.

• Perspectives from leaders across the industry, including Dr. Karen DeSalvo, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and Acting Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Health and Human Services, and Glen Tullman, CEO of Livongo Health.
• A speaker roster that includes nearly 20 senior healthcare leaders who are pioneering a shift toward Health Market 2.0, including Stephen Hemsley, CEO of UnitedHealth Group, Marcus Osborne, VP of Health and Wellness Payer Relations, Walmart, and leading investors from Venture Valkyrie, InterWest Partners, General Catalyst Partners, and General Atlantic.
• Immersion tours of Chicago’s most innovative organizations, including: Allscripts, NantHealth, Rush University Medical Center, AVIA, MATTER, and1871, One Medical Group, and Sandbox Industries.

• Live streaming from GuideWell Insights lounge of interviews with speakers and guests throughout the summit.
