ACO executives, clinical leaders and administrators running value-based care programs got the most from it, since over 70 percent of attendees were billed as working inside ACO and value-based provider groups and CMS officials were on the program alongside accountable care practitioners. Vendors hoping for a speaking slot would get less, because partners could sponsor and exhibit but were kept off the main program, and anyone who could not travel to Washington could follow the plenaries and breakouts by livestream.
Attendees at health policy and healthcare administration conferences in Washington usually wear business attire, with suits or blazers and slacks, and business casual is common for clinicians.
