12:30 - 1:45pm	Opening General Session Dare to Matter: The Unstuck and Unapologetic Drive to Matter More – Pete Smith In a world becoming dominated by technology, it's the people - who they are, what they know, what they do, and how they show up - that still matter most. "To matter" is to live with intention...to focus our talents, our skills, our knowledge, our desires, toward the ultimate goal of positively impacting the lives of others; to spend our lives in a relentless and unapologetic pursuit of Significance. To be significant, to matter, requires our intentional focus on six very specific pillars, each impacting the way we think, the things we do, and the results we create. This presentation will inspire you to action, not because you know with certainty that you matter, but because you're challenged and encouraged to explore just how much you can "Matter More".
2:30 - 3:30pm	General Session From Burnout to Buy-In: Leadership Strategies to Reignite Healthcare Teams - Barbara Khozam In an era of high turnover, low staffing, and wavering morale, healthcare leaders are tasked with more than just maintaining operations—they must inspire, engage, and lead with resilience. This session offers practical leadership tools designed to enhance employee engagement and foster a culture of excellence, ultimately leading to improved patient satisfaction and organizational success. Participants will gain insights into their own leadership styles, learn to motivate and communicate effectively across all levels of their team, and develop strategies to overcome common leadership challenges in healthcare.

	General Session Harmony or Melody? Either way, it's beautiful Music’s benefits extend beyond the physical; it reaches deep into our emotional and mental well-being. But the essence of this message goes deeper still. We all face moments of uncertainty about our identity and our place in the world—whether in our careers or personal lives. Just as harmony in music beautifully supports and enhances the melody, there are times when we need to adopt a supportive role at work or in our relationships, creating something truly special together. Regardless of our role, every person’s contribution is vital. When we come together in harmony, we create something profoundly beautiful and impactful.

Friday, April 11th
7:30 - 8:30am	Attendee Breakfast with Business Partners
	General Session Can We Admit We Are Burnt Out - Kyle Matthews Is burnout real? Is it something we should discuss? Are there medical executives who have recovered from burnout? The answer to all three is "yes" and it is time we had an open dialogue. As we know, physician burnout is a common discussion in meetings and conferences across the country. For those of us who lead medical organizations, we also need the resources and support in combating the immense pressures that are burdening our industry. Since the causes are well-known, this interactive session will focus on how executives can recharge, reset and/or rebrand to reduce or even overcome the impact of burnout. Attendees will be encouraged to share their own experiences as we engage in a healthy conversation to build peer support.
9:45 - 10:15am	Networking Break with Business Partners
	Closing General Session Keep Your Head Up: Look Up and Learn Up - Sam Glenn If there is one thing for certain in life, it is that our attitude plays an incredible role in everything – both personally and professionally.

Attitude Changes Everything offers an enlightening, entertaining and educational exploration into how our attitude works, what creates it, feeds it, how to keep it healthy and finally ways to use your attitude to author positive experiences.

Webinar: Will AI Save Healthcare or Destroy It?

When
04/15/2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Location
Webinar

About the Presentation:

Artificial Intelligence has been a hot topic with wildly varying views ranging from how it will change our world for the better to how it is going to take over and rule us all. (Those people may have watched too much Sci-Fi.) The answer, as always, is somewhere in between. How will AI impact our world in both good and bad ways? How do we need to think through the ethical questions this technology will present? Should we regulate it or allow the creators to find all kinds of new use cases? In this talk, David Powell, CRO at Liongard, will break down AI in terms that anyone can understand. He won’t tell you what to think, but he will tell you what to think about in this engaging and informative session.

About our Speaker:

David Powell is a twenty-four year veteran of the IT industry, the last twenty spent in managed services. Named one of the “Top 250 People in Managed Services” by MSPmentor for over five years, Powell has worked for three of the Top 100 companies that rank in the MSPmentor 501 each year. Currently, David is the Chief Revenue Officer at Liongard. Powell was a member of the Birmingham Business Journal’s “Top 40 under 40” in 2011, and in 2013, he was named to the publication’s first ever “#40 to Follow List” of executives to follow on Twitter. Powell is a frequent speaker on technology and managed and cloud services, and for three years he cohosted an engaging "Tech Tuesday" segment that aired each week on the local CBS42 affiliate in Birmingham.
