The Vizient® Connections Summit will take place this year September 16-18, 2024, at the Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada. Vizient's annual event will be attended by up to 4,000 healthcare leaders, many of whom have attended the Vizient Connections Summit for many years. They lead health systems, purchasing decisions, and the future of healthcare.
Connection has partnered with Vizient for more than a decade, as an approved supplier of IT products, services, and solutions to the Vizient membership-the nation's largest provider-driven healthcare performance improvement company, serving more than 65% of the nation's acute care providers, which includes 97% of the nation's academic medical centers, and more than 35% of the non-acute care market.
Our approach is both strategic and focused when working with Vizient members by calming the confusion of IT in delivering industry-leading technology solutions to enhance growth, elevate productivity, and empower innovation. Dedicated IT specialists are focused on exceptional service through customized offerings tailored to the unique needs of healthcare. Partnering with healthcare organizations of every size from private practices to large health systems, Connection delivers end-to-end IT solutions and expert guidance to accelerate digital transformation and bring caregivers and patients closer together.
The theme for this year's conference is "Reflection" and is where suppliers can help shape the solutions for the healthcare industry by having a unique opportunity to connect with healthcare providers, industry experts, and potential partners-who all view the landscape of the healthcare industry from a broader perspective with the goal of identifying untapped opportunities. This purposeful intention will unite all attendees around the shared vision of improving patient care through collaborating with C-suite leaders, service line clinicians, and supply chain decision makers.
Themed to the power of reflection, the 2024 Vizient® Connections Summit promises to be a transformative experience for all involved by delving into topics that inspire introspection and innovation. Suppliers will have an opportunity to take advantage of dedicated networking time with a variety of providers in attendance, who are eager to partner to discuss new and innovative solutions.
In December of 2023, Byron Jobe, Vizient Chief Executive Officer, began promoting a "glad to be here" culture that is more than a motto. As he stated, "It's the mindset required to merge margin and mission. Imagine a healthcare team that approaches each day with a shared sense of purpose, a commitment to excellence and a belief in their ability to deliver exceptional care. The results are a net positive for the culture and the bottom line."We are excited to be attending the Vizient Connections Summit to network with peers, learn more about industry trends, and discover how to bring continued value to our GPO relationship.
