CAHP Conference History
Since 1985, CAHP has hosted the Annual Managed Care Conference, the premier event for health care content and networking opportunities. Our conference pulls speakers, programs and organizations from across the nation to bring global perspectives on a variety of issues facing our industry.
Each year our conference provides timely and useful information on cutting-edge issues within the health care industry. The conference is our largest event of the year, attracting more than 550 attendees. We bring together health plan CEOs, COOs, CFOs, medical and pharmacy directors, government affairs and legal and regulatory staff, media and managers of product planning and provider contracting. We also have strong attendance from others within the health care industry including health law attorneys, brokers, IPA and medical group physicians and representatives from pharmaceutical, disease management, biotechnology, and information technology companies.
Each conference includes an array of educational workshops as well as addresses by prominent Keynote speakers. Networking opportunities are many with an extensive exhibit hall created to allow attendees access to the newest industry breakthroughs.
In conjunction with the annual conference, CAHP hosts the legislation Implementation Seminar. The Implementation Seminar provides detailed materials invaluable to plans and compliance staff to help ensure plans comply with recent laws and regulations. Additionally, each attendee receives an information manual containing final regulations and implementation guidelines as part of the seminar.
