The Confab of Women ChangeMakers convenes thought leaders in the Health Evolution community who are inspiring positive change across our industry. We dive deep into front-line stories from experienced executives, get personal on the how of fellow leaders, and discover new perspectives on health care’s biggest challenges.
“The women and men that attend Confab are keenly aware of the power they have to lift up women, communities and societies as leaders in health care,” says Jenny Terry, Health Evolution Confab. “They challenge and inspire each other to push forward with courage, conviction and community.”

The Confab opens with a big-picture discussion — Young & Undone: Turning the Tide on Angst and Suicide Among our Youth — focusing on the what’s driving this epidemic and what leaders can do to bend the trend.
HopeLab President and CEO Margaret Laws will lead California Surgeon General Nadine Burke-Harris, MD, Cigna SVP of Consumer Health Engagement & Behavioral Health Strategy and Solutions Joan Harvey, and JED Foundation Executive Director and CEO John MacFee in a discussion that will dive deep to understand the drivers and what we can do to shift the tide.
Later in the morning, leaders and Confab participants will gather in intimate “Get Real” groups for candid conversations with peers to take on a choice of leadership topics, including unlocking the boardroom door and making an impact, activating consumers, inspiring a nimble culture, striving for C-suite equity, among others.
After connecting with peers over lunch, participants will hear inspiring stories from CEOs taking a stand in Braving the Storm: Courageous Leadership.
