HIN Summit 2026

This is not a conference. It's an intentional gathering designed for honest
conversation and restoration.
About this Event

Two days. Three movements.

This is not a conference. It's an intentional gathering designed for honest

conversation, restoration, and the practical work of returning to why

you chose this calling.

Film & Witness

The weekend opens with the premiere of Suck It Up, Buttercup — an

unflinching look at what's happening to the people inside American

medicine. We watch together, then break bread.

Teach & Be Taught

A full Saturday of speakers chosen for depth, not celebrity —

covering legal advocacy, AI in clinical practice, trauma-informed care

for healers, and how to build a public voice that actually matters.

Restore & Connect

Aspen Glen in late September is what the Roaring Fork Valley does

best — golden light, mountain air, and an environment designed to

remind you what restoration actually feels like. The room you're in

matters; so does the room you eat in afterward.

For the people behind medicine.

The Summit is a small, deliberate room. We're keeping the group to

50 attendees because the value isn't in scale — it's in the

conversations you'll have between the talks and at dinner.

This gathering is for clinicians who refuse to settle for burnout as the

price of practice, and for the leaders working to build systems worth

staying in.

Physicians, PAs & NPs

Mid-career clinicians ready to reconnect with purpose and build

what's next.

Healthcare Executives

CEOs, CMOs, CFOs, and CNOs responsible for clinician retention,

culture, and the health of their organizations.

Physician Entrepreneurs

Clinicians building businesses, media platforms, or new income

streams beyond traditional practice.

Healthcare Advocates

Attorneys, therapists, and allied professionals working alongside

clinicians on systemic and personal recovery.
