GLOBAL CEO CONCLAVE 2026
About Global CEO Conclave (GCC)
Healthcare is presently at inflection point. Globally healthcare systems are being reshaped by rapid technological advancement, changing demographic and disease patterns, enhanced patient expectations, resource constraints and the essential need for having resilient and sustainable models of care. This dynamic evolving and challenging healthcare systems in India presents both an extraordinary opportunity as well a formidable challenge.
It is against this backdrop that the Global CEO Conclave at IIM Jammu has been planned as a high-level platform for dialogue, reflection and collaboration among thought leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem. Effective transformation requires thought, experience sharing and at various times collaborative and synergetic actions. CEOs have different experiences, analytical approaches and interpretative thinking. The differing perspectives often result in innovative, practical, scalable and sustainable solutions and better outcomes.
Why GCC Needs to be Positioned Differently?
Hospital CEOs increasingly focus on growth, AI, talent, competition, profitability and investor expectations. GCC is positioned as a CEO capability-building platform rather than just a conference.
The Conclave seeks to move beyond conventional conference discussions and create a strategic dialogue among decision-makers — sharing successful models, examining failures and lessons learnt, identifying emerging opportunities and exploring collaborations that translate ideas into action.
