Last year was a very busy year for the HealthCare Executive Group (HCEG.) In addition to hosting our 31st Annual Forum in our birthplace of Boston, Massachusetts, HCEG hosted two Executive Leadership Roundtables, presented the CIO & CTO Strategy Track at the 16th Annual World Health Care Congress, delivered seven webinars in conjunction with our sponsor partners, published 35 blog posts addressing challenges, issues, and opportunities facing healthcare leadership, and presented at several of our partner’s conferences and events.
Moreover, in 2019 HCEG became an Educational Partner with America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) and a Collaboration Partner with the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS.) For 2020, we have an equally insightful and interesting agenda of live, in-person and virtual events and content in store.

Executive Leadership Roundtables & Special Presentations
HCEG presented two Executive Leadership Roundtable events in 2019: one at the HLTH Forum in Las Vegas and one at special ELR at our Annual Forum in Boston.
In addition, HCEG presented the CIO & CTO Strategy Track at the 16th Annual World Health Care Congress. This track consisted of six separate sessions over two days. See the recap of the WHCC event and the CIO & CTO Strategy track presented by HCEG here.
2020 HCEG Top 10 List & 10th Annual Industry Pulse Survey
The 2020 HCEG Top 10 list of challenges, issues, and opportunities facing healthcare industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers was created by participants of our 31st Annual Forum. This list was then used as the basis for the Industry Pulse research survey sponsored by HCEG and sponsor partner Change Healthcare.
Webinars & Blog Posts Advancing Healthcare Innovation & Transformation
One of the ways we share healthcare information, insight, & ideas is via our Webinar Series Events and blog posts. Our blog posts share insight, information and ideas on items in the HCEG Top 10 list, recaps of webinars and HCEG hosted events, and other information of interest to healthcare industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers.
Check out this blog post for information, insight, & ideas presented in our webinars and blog posts in 2019.
Looking Forward to HCEG Events & Content in 2020

In addition to releasing the results of the 10th Annual Industry Pulse research survey conducted in partnership with Change Healthcare next month, we’ll be creating the 2021 HCEG Top 10 list at our 32nd Annual Forum this coming September.
