California is one of the most innovative places on the planet — and its health care ecosystem is exactly the same.
From leveraging AI to advancing pharmaceuticals, from extending insurance coverage to value based networks, the health care and health policy communities are generating successes, and setbacks, across the spectrum of care.
The 2027 California Health Policy Commons event will gather senior health care executives and health policy leaders from in California’s capital city, steps away from the state legislative building.
By joining this year’s conference, registrants will also get 1-year of free access to content at Health Policy Commons, covering California health policy and market activity with a strategic lens.
We’d love to have you part of the community!
Our Convening Panel is a group of smart, thoughtful health care and policy leaders from across the spectrum of care.
They help us build our Topical Agenda, help to identify speakers, and keep our conference grounded in the most pressing, practical matters facing health care today.
We will release our Convening Panel in October. Stay tuned!
