The premier Medicare Advantage senior leadership conference will take place September 1-2, with preconference workshops on August 31, in Los Angeles. Here’s a look at the presenters who will take the main stage.

RISE is excited to announce the keynotes and special presenters who will join the roster of RISE West 2022 speakers, September 1-2, at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. The annual event will feature new ways to meet risk adjustment goals, keep up with the ever-changing Star Ratings measures, and explore the opportunities and complexities to come out of the pandemic—and what it means for 2023 risk and quality scores.

The main conference will kick off Thursday morning, September 1, with a special presentation by Ryan Brolliar, founder and author of “The Music is Medicine Tour.” His latest book chronicles his tour across the entire United States playing music for people in need. He visited all 50 states, 78 hospitals, and more than 1,500 patients in nine months.

Join Brolliar for a morning dose of inspiration and to feel better connected during a time when so many have felt more disconnected than ever before.

 

Futurist Kian Gohar will follow with a keynote address on how to compete in the new world of work. He will offer research-led insights into using radical adaptability to win in a world of unprecedented change.

Gohar, a sought-after strategist and advisor, coaches entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders to make their impossible, impossible.
