3-4 speakers, 40 minutes

These sessions are conversational with no slides. ViVE builds diverse panels internally – if you are picky on who you’ll share the stage with, kindly consider another format. We are intentional with these discussions to get to the evidence and support your points quickly rather than broadly speaking about ideals. We are leaving the theoretical “what ifs” behind and discussing how to solve hard problems. If you have high guardrails on what topics we can cover- it may not be the format for you. 

1 speaker, 20 minutes

Think BIG IDEAS of how to transform health, think TEDTalk meets the Presidential Address. Here we are looking for visionaries who are fed up with the current health system status quo and have novel ideas to change it. We want speakers with gravitas! This stage is not for product pitches, but again big missions — a mission that is WAY bigger than one organization or one solution.

1-2 speakers, 1 moderator, 20 minutes

These one-on-one discussions between a moderator and speaker hone in on the speakers’ specific experience and view on the proposed topic. This speaker is uniquely positioned to discuss the topic at hand given their current role and have real evidence to support their message. This will need to be a brand new message for our audience, not rehashed. Use our stage as the catalyst to cement your influence over our health industry.

1-2 speakers, 20 minutes

With so much happening inside of each health organization, from new partnerships to new technology integrations to new care model implementation, we want a peek inside the magic! These sessions will give an insider view of a specific project our featured speakers are currently in the weeds of implementing or have successfully (or sometimes not so successfully) come out the other side with stories to tell. These should be very practical and not shy away from the gory details!

1 moderator for panelist and point-counterpoint discussions

Moderators play a CRUCIAL role in the success of the session. Think of them as the ‘Team Captains’ that the ‘Players’ look to to lead them. We prefer to keep these conversational with no slides. Panels take questions from the moderator and live audience questions (digitally). We typically choose moderators from the media, consulting firms, law firms, VCs, bankers, academia i.e. people that are neutral parties with SME on the topics covered. We hope to find moderators who are polite and considerate of our speakers, but NOT afraid to push or ask the tough questions.

Limit to 1 submission per Executive. Multiple submissions will not be reviewed. Limit to 4 executives from 1 organization. We will not review any more than 4. At the end of the day, we book speakers, not companies.

We take confirmations seriously. If a confirmed speaker cancels at the last minute, we unfortunately will not be able to work with that individual for future events. We do understand emergencies happen and we will evaluate on a case by case basis. ViVE reserves the right to cancel the speaking slot entirely if the proposed speaker can no longer uphold their commitment.

The Content Team must approve any speaker changes before a speaker invitation is extended to the potential replacement. Any speakers that are not approved by the Content Team are subject to cancellation by ViVE.

ViVE reserves the right to cancel a session if the speaker is not able to deliver the original concept and speaker(s) listed in the proposal and/or misses key deadlines.
