2026 Conference Session Tracks

Connecting with Patients & Communities

Connecting with Patients & Communities

Connecting with Patients & Communities

The most enduring healthcare connections are built on trust, empathy, and authenticity — not big budgets. From crafting stories that clarify complex topics to finding low-cost, high-impact outreach strategies, participants will learn about intentional, resourceful strategies to strengthen community bonds. 

Connecting Across Teams & Silos

Connecting with Patients & Communities

Connecting with Patients & Communities

Behind every strong external message is an internal network of aligned, motivated people. This track focuses on how communicators can bridge departments, break down silos, and build a shared sense of purpose — especially when teams are stretched thin. Learn practical methods for improving collaboration, increasing efficiency, and encouraging a culture where everyone feels and is part of the story you’re telling.

Connecting with Purpose

Connecting Through Innovation

Connecting Through Innovation

With growing demands and fewer resources, communicating with purpose has never been more important. This track explores aligning projects, campaigns, and messages in a way that feels authentically mission driven. Participants will learn how to prioritize what truly matters, measure meaningful impact, and sustain a sense of purpose in a world that can tend to reward speed over thoughtfulness. 

Connecting Through Innovation

Connecting Through Innovation

Connecting Through Innovation

Innovation isn’t about having more tools. It’s about using the right tools with creativity and care. This track examines how to bring craftsmanship into the digital era, using technology as a partner to extend, not replace, human connection. From practical AI applications to scrappy content strategies and automation hacks, discover how to make modern tools work harder for you and your audiences.

Excited About Our Theme but Not Sure Where to Begin?

Let Our Sample Sessions Spark Your Ideas.
To help you get started, we’ve included sample session topics for each conference track.  You’re welcome to build on them, remix them, or go in a totally new direction — they’re simply there to inspire and guide.
