Thought Leadership Retreat – Sponsorship Opportunities

September 25-26, 2025
Washington Marriott at Metro Center
(Healthcare Leadership Opportunity)
The approximately 150 invitation-only healthcare leaders of HFMA’s Thought Leadership Retreat (TLR) convene for an in-depth conversation.
Bridging Divides: Aligning for a Sustainable Healthcare Future
The U.S. healthcare system is marked by fragmentation—between providers and payers, policymakers and industry, affordability and innovation. These divisions fuel inefficiencies, rising costs, and limited access, placing growing burdens on patients, especially those with chronic conditions or lower incomes.
To achieve a sustainable future, stakeholders must move beyond siloed efforts and work together to realign incentives, reduce waste, and prioritize patient-centered care. Solutions require collaboration across sectors—clinicians promoting value-based care, payers and systems driving efficient payment models, and policymakers advancing equitable access.
The HFMA Thought Leadership Retreat 2025 brings together financial leaders, clinicians, health plans, and policymakers to align on strategies for:
- Navigating policy shifts with a new administration
- Reducing complexity and administrative burden
- Lowering healthcare costs and improving affordability
- Expanding access and supporting whole-person care
Together, we can bridge divides and shape a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable healthcare system.
Audience makeup: 77% executive; 10% mid-level; 13% staff specialist/professional/other
Setting: 79% provider or health plan where 44% is hospital/system
Sponsoring HFMA’s Thought Leadership Retreat gets you a seat at the table as an active participant in the discussion.
