LinkedIn: RISE
RISE West is the most anticipated Medicare Advantage senior leadership event of the year, but it’s more than an event. It’s a reunion of industry trailblazers where the conversations are meaningful, the connections feel like family, and the peer-to-peer exchange happens in a truly intimate setting.
As CMS regulations evolve, payment models shift, and AI moves from experimentation to execution, health plans face a new question: we know what needs to happen, so why isn’t it working, and what are the organizations getting it right doing differently? The days of short-term fixes are over. RISE West moves the conversation from what’s coming to what’s working now.
Already joined them at RISE National? RISE West isn’t a repeat, it’s the next layer. Where National aligned the industry on where things are headed, West is where that strategy meets reality: the working sessions, peer benchmarks, and execution playbooks for making it happen now.
RISE West brings together an intentionally intimate group of 500+ senior leaders across Medicare Advantage for an unmatched opportunity that blends high-level policy insights, proven operational tactics, and invaluable networking with those driving the future of managed care.
Join them in San Diego for RISE West 2026 and leave with fresh thinking, stronger connections, and real-world takeaways to drive performance, compliance, and innovation, because in this landscape, strong leadership isn’t optional. It’s essential.
