The healthcare industry's premier Medicare Advantage conference, RISE National 2025, will host 141 sponsors and 2,000 executives in San Antonio from March 11-14, providing a critical platform for discussing emerging healthcare strategies and regulatory developments. The 19th annual conference will bring together senior management from commercial and Medicare Advantage health plans, provider groups, integrated health systems, and accountable care organizations. Participants will focus on key industry topics including risk adjustment, quality metrics, member experience, and social determinants of health.
Kevin Weigel, director of sales at RISE, emphasized the event's significance, noting that the conference will facilitate meaningful connections among leading healthcare brands and innovative industry players. The extensive sponsor list includes platinum sponsors such as Advantmed, Datavant, Evernorth Health Solutions, and Optum, alongside gold and silver level sponsors representing diverse healthcare technology and service sectors. The conference provides a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals to engage directly with sponsors, explore innovative solutions, and address the complex regulatory landscape currently transforming the healthcare industry.
Networking opportunities will include exhibit hall interactions, breaks, and cocktail receptions designed to foster potential partnerships and knowledge exchange. With representation from over 141 sponsors across multiple healthcare domains, RISE National 2025 promises to be a comprehensive forum for exploring emerging trends, technological advancements, and strategic approaches in Medicare Advantage and broader healthcare ecosystems. The conference matters because Medicare Advantage enrollment continues to grow significantly, now covering over 30 million Americans, making these discussions about risk adjustment, quality improvement, and regulatory compliance increasingly important for healthcare organizations' financial stability and patient outcomes.
The implications of this gathering extend beyond the conference itself, as decisions and partnerships formed at RISE National 2025 will likely influence how healthcare organizations approach value-based care, technology adoption, and regulatory compliance throughout the coming year. The focus on social determinants of health reflects the industry's growing recognition that non-medical factors significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs. As healthcare organizations navigate increasing regulatory scrutiny and competitive pressures, events like RISE National provide essential forums for sharing best practices and developing collaborative solutions to complex industry challenges.
