AI Transformation
Is Here
It's Time to Prepare your Health System
November 1–4, 2026 · Phoenix, AZ
A retreat tailor-made for senior executives from hospitals, health systems, and leading care organizations, focused on how AI, automation, and new operating models are reimagining healthcare.
AI & Automation
RCM, margin improvement, and the financial models healthcare executives are betting on in 2026.
Population Health
AI-enabled strategies and best practices for primary care, quality, physician alignment, network buildout, bundled payments, LEAD, MSSP, and other issues affecting population health leaders.
Clinical Operations
New operating models for care delivery, nursing, perioperative services, and service line leadership.
Value-Based Care
Population health, ACOs, managed care strategy, and the evolving payor-provider relationship.
Built for Meaningful Connection
The Hospitalogy AI Retreat brings together senior healthcare executives for curated roundtables and expert-hosted content on AI-enabled transformation — designed for depth over breadth, and connection over consumption.
This is not a conference. There are no exhibit halls, no passive keynote rows. Just the right people, in the right room, having the conversations that actually move healthcare forward.
Senior Leaders from the Nation's Top Health Systems
This group comes from high-volume care delivery organizations — the hospitals, health systems, and provider groups managing thousands of patients, hundreds of staff, and hundreds of millions in annual revenue.
You are not passive conference-goers. You are the decision-makers who own strategy, budget, and implementation across the enterprise — and you're here because the work you're doing actually matters.

Small Enough to Be Real
Senior Enough to Matter
100 seats. That's it. Every person in the room was invited because they belong there.
Set against the backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa provides the perfect setting for shared experiences, outdoor adventures, and the kind of conversations you can't have at a convention center.

Hospitalogy is already your people.
To the Hospitalogists,
Welcome back to year 2 of Hospitalogy in-person events. This year, we're going (slightly) bigger out in Phoenix to discuss a topic on everyone's minds: AI and Health System Transformation.
Last year, I hosted 50 incredibly smart, thoughtful folks in Austin to talk through the current state of value-based care, learn from one another, and hold candid conversations. These discussions weren't recorded, and Chatham House Rules were in effect. You can expect something similar for the Hospitalogy AI Retreat.
Out in Phoenix, I'll be facilitating off-record conversations and roundtables with your peers. You're in the room or you miss it. Best be sure I'm not looking to stroke egos. My mission at Hospitalogy is to drive meaningful change in the industry through connection and real conversations, and this format is by far the best to go deep on issues and share meaningful information.
There is nothing noisier in healthcare right now than the clown fiesta happening around AI and technological transformation. So I want to foster dialogue that will help health system leaders sift through this noise, learn where your peers are finding successes, share challenges, and find a sustainable path forward for your organizations.
Themes covered will be timely and designed to stretch your thinking, including
- Leadership through transformation,
- Governance and fostering trust,
- What 'disrupting yourself' actually means in practice,
- Rising consumerism in healthcare
- Ramifications of the autonomous era on healthcare, and
- Transitioning to health system 2.0 - strategic and financial considerations for AI deployment in key areas including revenue cycle management, population health, primary care and digital front door, and more.
Plus we'll probably play some golf and do some other cool stuff together out in Phoenix. I hope to see you there for the next flagship Hospitalogy event.
Until November!
