Noble Summit is the annual gathering of all Noble members and invited guests, as well as the only nationwide gathering purpose-built for physician executives.
At this summit, you'll connect with visionary physician leaders, deepen your understanding of emerging trends, and cultivate relationships that will help you shape the future of healthcare. Together, we'll explore pivotal topics in physician leadership, and the evolving landscape of patient care and healthcare delivery. This event is tailored for high-level physician executives who are committed to translating their clinical insights into the future systems of care.
To enhance our experience, every attendee will have the opportunity to interact with each individual to create a cohesive experience. Noble Summit follows the Noble community guidelines of Chatham House rules. In addition, no press or recordings will be allowed to facilitate honest dialogues and discussion.
Program
The heart of our summit is a single-track conversation - designed to encourage connectivity, dialogue, and sparks of new ideas between participants. Our program is unique - any member of Noble may participate in the conversation.
This year's theme is The Art of Creative Leadership & Storytelling. We’ll explore the stories of our leadership journeys that have brought us to where we are, debate the narratives that capture our attention today, and shape the arcs of healthcare for tomorrow.
