About this Event
Join us for the 27th Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference, bringing together healthcare leaders, innovators, investors, and students to explore the forces shaping the industry’s future.
Dates: Friday, January 22 - Saturday, January 23, 2027
Location: Kellogg Global Hub | Evanston, IL
This year’s theme, “Healthcare at the Crossroads: Evolution or Erosion,” examines how technological change, financial pressures, an evolving regulatory environment, and rising patient expectations are reshaping healthcare.
Why have so many of healthcare’s most persistent challenges endured despite decades of innovation? Through keynote conversations and six panels, we’ll explore the tension between the inertia of the status quo and the disruptive efforts needed to create meaningful change.
