The strategic chessboard continues to get more complex each year. Vertical integration continues, prominent retailers are making bold bets, and national competitors are exerting their reach. At the same time, demographics are changing long-term demand for care as the oldest Baby Boomer near 80—and the millennials aren’t so young anymore. How do cross-industry CEOs prepare for these intertwined supply- and demand-side shifts to find strategic advantage? Who can deliver on the promise of affordable, accessible, and equitable care to build durable consumer loyalty? And which headline-grabbing bets are actual game changes—and which are strategic distractions?

9:25–10:10 am PT Medicaid in the Spotlight: Unpacking Opportunities for Growth, Innovation, and Advancing Health Equity The Ritz-Carlton, Salons 3 & 4

With the Medicare Advantage craze cooling, attention is quickly turning to Medicaid as the next potential growth driver in the expanding government-sponsored insurance market. While the Medicaid program continues to face ongoing coverage and reimbursement challenges, expansion in previous holdout states and the newfound ability to address social needs is igniting innovation. How do cross-industry leaders wading into the Medicaid market navigate the state-by-state differences to achieve scale? How do innovators successfully work with Medicaid members rather than build “solutions” for them? And will Medicaid be the launch pad for truly advancing health equity?

Once-hailed unicorns have stumbled or fallen, underscoring volatile markets and difficult operating environments. And while questions continue to swirl about the role of private equity in health care, venture capital is now entering the care delivery arena. What is the 12- to 24-month outlook for capital markets? Will we see an uptick in health care M&A or IPO activity?

Senior Care Approaching a Boiling Point: Identifying Sustainable Solutions for an Aging Population The Ritz-Carlton, Pavilions 1 & 2

Innovators are designing new approaches for equitable, family-centric care, and policymakers are eager for effective solutions. How do we inspire partnerships to embrace and expand whole-family care? What promising programs are underway—and how do leaders across the health care ecosystem accelerate the pace of change?
