Healthcare Leadership Conference

Continuing education (CE) credits are available. Sessions are available on demand following the event.

Leadership excellence is a must-have skill in today’s healthcare workplace. Effective leaders need diverse skills that drive success across multiple aspects of work. From time management and productivity to recruitment strategies to promoting the physical and mental well-being of our teams — healthcare leaders do it all.

The leadership skills of today are different than those of yesterday — and they continue to evolve as organizations build the workforce of the future. To succeed, leaders have to be committed to growing their capacity and that of their teams.

Huron’s new event, Developing Yourself and Your Team as Leaders, hosted in Las Vegas, brings together leadership, communication, and talent strategy experts for two days of best-in-class learning and networking.

Keynote and breakout sessions are designed to provide attendees with practical pointers and valuable takeaways that they can easily implement for adapting recruitment and retention strategies and creating an organizational culture in which leaders and their teams can excel.

Customize your event learning by choosing from breakout sessions focused in three core areas: fundamentals of leadership, readiness for change, and engagement and execution.

Eligible for up to 17.75 continuing education (CE) credits via live and on-demand content.
