2026 Planning Program

 

The healthcare summit will be held at the FSU Turnbull Conference Center in Tallahassee. The program is constructed around a panel format that facilitates open discussion from a variety of perspectives and, for even greater depth, Q&A involving audience members.

Each panel is comprised of three to four sponsored individuals, plus an FSU moderator. The moderator works closely with each panelist to develop specific discussion topics and field audience questions. Our tentative program is provided below. You can download the 2025 summit program here.
