NHIA Keynotes: Come for the inspiration, stay for the knowledge!

NHIA 2025 offers ample opportunities for networking and learning. But we also anchor each day with a different keynote speaker designed to reset your professional outlook and boost the new knowledge, skills, and contacts you acquire.

First, open your mind to new possibilities with Kyle Scheele, “the patron saint of crazy ideas.” Kyle shows us how to embrace the transformative potential of thinking big and way outside the box.

Then look to the horizon and the significant trend lines developing in health policy. Former CMS Administrator and FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan joins NHIA President and CEO Connie Sullivan for a fireside chat about getting the most quality and value from health care delivery and where our industry fits into the big picture.

Finally, learn it’s possible to reframe narratives with Paula Stone Williams, who demonstrates how a storytelling approach to communication can foster enduring change. Paula’s own transition journey has shed a light on the gendered landscape that she shares to provide a new perspective.
