The Health Management Academy has been recognized among the most relevant healthcare networking events in 2026 by the Herald-Tribune, which included THMA in its independently published guide to upcoming healthcare gatherings for the year. The recognition places THMA alongside a range of industry conferences and professional forums cited for their role in bringing healthcare leaders together to share information and build strategic relationships.
THMA’s inclusion reflects the growing interest in smaller, more deliberate gathering formats among health system executives and their industry partners. The organization’s Executive Convening program operates as a series of closed, retreat-style forums that bring together C-suite leaders from the nation’s largest health systems and a vetted group of senior executives from pharmaceutical, health technology, medical device, and life sciences companies. Forums are designed around member-identified priorities, with agendas built from peer input rather than sponsor schedules, and attendance kept small enough to support substantive conversation rather than transactional networking.
The Executive Convening portfolio spans more than a dozen role-specific and topic-focused forums held at biannual intervals throughout the year, including gatherings for chief executive officers, chief financial officers, chief information officers, chief physician executives, chief nursing executives, and oncology service line leaders, among others. Each event runs for two and a half days in a retreat-style venue, pairing structured peer discussions with dedicated relationship-building time. Members also receive access to year-round research briefings, market readouts, and on-demand learning resources between events, which THMA positions as part of a continuous engagement model rather than a single conference experience.
