Elevate 2026

Every year, we're inspired by the stories shared at Elevate, Medallion’s annual healthcare conference. In 2026, we'll bring the community together again to chart what is next for healthcare's back-office work, clinical innovation and the business of care. If you have a bold idea, we want to hear it.

Join us as a speaker

One question drives our mission year over year: how do we build a healthcare system that supports all? Elevate is a call to action for the innovators, disruptors, and visionaries shaping the future of healthcare.

Speaking at Elevate lets you share practical results with a national audience and connect with peers and partners. It is a chance to highlight work that advances strengthens operations, accelerates revenue and improves patient care.

2026 themes and tracks

In past years, Elevate sessions explored artificial intelligence, payer–provider collaboration, compliance and workforce innovation. The 2026 agenda will continue to reflect the most pressing and practical challenges in the field.

Final themes and tracks will be announced soon. If you have a story, case study or bold idea, we encourage you to apply.

What to expect

Speakers can present in different formats, including 55-minute keynotes and panels.

We ask that applicants include a brief outline that aligns with the program themes. If you have more than one idea, you may submit multiple proposals. A cross-functional Medallion committee representing different departments, backgrounds and areas of expertise will review all submissions.
