Healthcare Forum

Commercial Observer’s Design & Construction Forum convenes the leaders shaping the next era of healthcare infrastructure — from capital planning executives and systemwide strategists to the legal minds and project delivery teams guiding some of the most complex builds in the country. This year’s program explores how major institutions are rethinking capital deployment, modernizing aging facilities, and designing environments that elevate patient experience while meeting the demands of advanced clinical care.

Attendees will gain insight into how large health systems are navigating regulatory pressures, accelerating project timelines, and aligning real estate decisions with long‑term operational strategy. Keynotes will unpack the realities of delivering multi‑billion‑dollar capital programs, while panel discussions dive into emerging models for ambulatory expansion, campus redevelopment, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration between owners, designers, engineers, and construction partners.

With perspectives spanning capital projects, facilities strategy, legal risk, and enterprise‑level planning, the forum offers a rare, 360‑degree view into how the nation’s most influential healthcare organizations are building for the future.
