Program Themes

Grounded in executive priorities and industry research, the program themes spotlight the trends, challenges, and strategies defining the next era of Patient Experience. Click each theme to explore the conversations shaping what’s ahead.

Fix the Friction

Scheduling, referrals, intake, wait times, and ease of navigation are becoming defining moments in how patients judge care. This theme will explore how organizations are reducing friction at the earliest stages of the journey and treating access as a strategic differentiator.

Deliver a Journey

Digital front door strategy is evolving from portals and apps into connected journey orchestration. Organizations are investing in integrated experiences that bring together search, scheduling, reminders, navigation, communication, and follow-up in a more seamless consumer journey.

Turn Experimentation into Execution

AI is becoming a core enabler of patient experience, especially in self-service, contact centers, navigation, engagement, and workflow support. This theme will focus on where AI is creating measurable value today, what leading adopters are learning, and how to balance efficiency with empathy.

Prepare for Organizational Transformation

Patient experience is no longer owned by one department. It now spans access, operations, digital, revenue cycle, contact centers, care delivery, and member engagement. This theme will look at how executive teams are embedding experience into broader business strategy.

Curated 1:1 Meetings

At the heart of the Executive Exchange are meaningful conversations between leaders navigating the future of customer experience and the innovators helping shape it.

Through our curated 1:1 meeting experience, executives are matched with solution providers based on the priorities, challenges, and areas of focus — creating mutually selected discussions designed around relevance and impact.

These focused conversations complement the broader Exchange experience, giving leaders dedicated time to explore ideas, discover new approaches, and engage with providers aligned to their strategic goals.

“Having senior executives in a smaller setting brings everyone together for the right reasons — to learn from each other, gain new perspectives, and discover ideas and technology we can bring back to the contact center”

“There’s so much value in attending – The technology I’m looking into they have already had it employed, so they’ve been able to share some of the best practices.”

“The preparation beforehand and curated schedule make it easy to connect with the right companies based on your challenges. The quality of the conversations and follow-up after the meetings has been phenomenal.”
