2026 Proving what's possible.

New Mexico is the most transferable proving ground in American healthcare — rural communities, tribal sovereign systems, Medicaid-heavy populations, and national labs. If it works here, it works everywhere.

Year one already drew the room.

The 2025 Summit proved the room is real — the organizations shaping healthcare in New Mexico showed up for this conversation. In 2026, we go bigger, and you get in early.

Why this room matters

Transformation isn't owned
by any one sector.

The Summit convenes the people who deliver care, finance it, build solutions, generate evidence, shape policy, and invest capital. The value lives at the intersection — and your organization belongs in it.

Delivering Care

Health systems, FQHCs, rural providers, tribal health, behavioral & community health.

Financing Care

Medicaid MCOs and commercial payers evaluating value-based models and population health.

Building Solutions

Startups and entrepreneurs developing applied tools for the populations in this room.

Generating Evidence

Universities, research institutions, and national labs linking capability to deployment.

Shaping Policy

State agencies and public-sector leaders setting the conditions for innovation to scale.

Investing Capital

VCs, foundations, and economic development partners tracking the innovation pipeline.

Why New Mexico?

A uniquely valuable proving ground.

New Mexico's conditions aren't a limitation — they're the point. The challenges here mirror the hardest problems in American healthcare. Solutions validated in this environment transfer directly to markets across the country.

New Mexico's conditions
  • Large rural & frontier populations with limited specialist access
  • Tribal communities and sovereign health systems
  • One of the highest Medicaid concentration rates in the nation
  • Persistent workforce shortages across clinical disciplines
  • Geographic barriers requiring distributed, asynchronous care
  • Strong academic institutions and national laboratories
  • Engaged public-sector partners and collaborative policy

High-fidelity testing

Validated here means it works in distributed, resource-constrained, diverse settings — not just urban markets.

Transferable evidence

Evidence generated in NM applies directly to comparable markets across rural America and beyond.

First-mover positioning

Early partners build trusted relationships in an ecosystem that national attention is just beginning to follow.

The case for partnership

Most conferences sell visibility. This one sells proximity.

Logo placement isn't the value. Strategic access to the people responsible for healthcare transformation in New Mexico — that is.

Innovation Showcase placement

Direct, unhurried engagement around shared implementation challenges — not a tradeshow floor.

Curated relationship development

HealthInno connects you to the right people in advance, shaped by what you're trying to accomplish.

Health ImpACT pilot visibility

Early visibility into real-world pilots as they move from introduction to deployment in NM.

Post-Summit intelligence

Connection reports and year-round ImpACT recognition extend your presence beyond the event.

Why each audience matters

Every seat has a reason to be there.

The Summit is designed so each audience finds something it can't get elsewhere in New Mexico — and the value compounds when they're all in one room. As a sponsor, you're in proximity to all of them.

Healthcare Leaders

Identify priorities & pathways

Executives and clinical leaders across health systems, FQHCs, rural, tribal, and behavioral health — here for peer intelligence and a path into the ImpACT network.

Innovators & Entrepreneurs

Build for real-world needs

Companies developing applied tools for the care settings in this room — gaining direct access to the clinical and operational priorities of potential partners.

Payers & Managed Care

Shape incentives & adoption

Medicaid MCO and commercial payer leaders who determine what gets reimbursed and what scales — turning isolated innovations into sustainable programs.

Investors & Funders

Support scaling & commercialization

VCs, foundations, and economic development partners gaining curated deal flow and warm relationships with NM's pipeline — including LANL, Sandia, and UNM spinouts.

Researchers & National Labs

Generate evidence & capability

Academic and research partners find direct lines to the clinical questions practitioners are asking. Labs bring AI and computing most systems can't access alone.

Policymakers & Community

Create conditions to succeed

State agencies and community organizations see where regulation enables or blocks progress — keeping innovation connected to local realities and needs.

Partnership activations

We sell strategic partnerships, not session slots.

The program is built for the strongest attendee experience. Partners align with meaningful moments inside it — not the other way around.

The program drives the partnership

Sessions are designed around attendee value, not sponsorship inventory.

Activations are assigned, not sold

Each partner is matched to the activation that best fits the program and their goals.

Flexibility is intentional

Opportunities evolve as the program develops. That's a feature, not a limitation.
