2026 Booth Annual Healthcare Conference

 

About the Chicago Booth Healthcare Conference

The Chicago Booth Healthcare Conference is a premier forum bringing together leaders across healthcare, life sciences, investing, policy, and innovation to explore the evolving landscape of the industry. Organized by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Healthcare Group (HCG), the conference reflects Booth’s commitment to rigorous analysis, thoughtful dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration.

Each year, the conference convenes industry executives, investors, entrepreneurs, clinicians, academics, alumni, and students for a day of substantive discussion and meaningful networking. By bridging perspectives across care delivery, biotechnology, capital markets, and regulation, the conference fosters informed conversations about the future of healthcare.

We look forward to welcoming attendees to downtown Chicago for a day of insight, connection, and community.
