About this Event
Reinventing Health Insurance
EMBRACING DATA, INNOVATION AND TRANSPARENCY
After a century of experimenting with healthcare coverage, industry innovators believe that we are ready for a new era driven by data-driven decision-making. These improvements will focus on offering a variety of choices for quality providers, empowering individual employees, and providing alternative funding models for employers that are tailored to their specific needs.
It’s time for Health Insurance 4.0 – and you’re invited.
After the success of our 2024 and 2025 events, we're excited to continue these conversations at Health Insurance 4.0, 2026 - a half-day event for Michigan employers to learn, share, and celebrate the spirit of reinvention for this critical employee benefit.
Hosted at Downtown Market in Grand Rapids, the event will feature seminars, a panel Q&A, and networking among colleagues, HR professionals, and thought leaders from throughout West Michigan. Topics of discussion will include direct networks, stop-loss coverage, HSAs, and more.
