For the past 22 years, Columbia Business School has been committed to fostering a critical and transformative dialogue about the future of healthcare.

Last year, we discussed the changing employer health benefits landscape, leveraging consumer health in managing chronic disease, scaling AI-driven drug discovery, and expanding healthcare access to underserved communities. Our 2025 keynote speakers included Daniel O’Day, MBA (CBS ‘97); Tommy Ibrahim, MD, MHA, EMBA (CBS ‘23); and Bryan Kelly, MD, MBA).

This year, we are proud to focus on the themes ranging from AI in healthcare to how the private sector is shaping the future of global health. This year’s conference will also include a start-up expo, a case competition, and a networking reception with students, alumni, and industry professionals. We are excited to share additional details around the 22nd Annual Conference in the fall of 2025.

Join us this February as we celebrate 22 years of engaging discussions with thought leaders at the cutting edge of healthcare.
