5 answeredAnnual Payer Issues Roundtable 2026 starts November 2, 2026.
The 2026 event takes place at Swissotel Chicago, in Chicago.
The stated audience includes senior leaders from health plans and insurers, payer leaders, and senior executives.
It is most useful for senior executives at health plans and insurers, since the speakers include chief executives, chief medical officers and a chief information officer, and the topics include value-based benefit design, behavioral health integration and price transparency. Providers, vendors or mid-level staff would get less from a two-day executive roundtable aimed at payer leaders, and the Emmitt Smith appearance is more of a draw for general interest than for payer strategy.
Healthcare executives at leadership roundtables in Chicago usually wear business professional attire, with suits or blazers and dress shoes.
