AMGA's Fall Council Summit is an exclusive forum for CEO, COO, CMO, and Quality Council members to openly share their experiences and stories, to identify improvement opportunities, highlight successes, and discuss future planning. With content identified and selected by a planning committee of fellow council members, each council agenda focuses on the top issues impacting healthcare leaders.
At this extended meeting, time is split between three keynote sessions, succinct presentations, roundtable discussions, and Hot Topics. Everything is specifically designed to facilitate member-to-member conversations so you leave the meeting with ideas you can implement and new contacts to connect with throughout your career.

FAQ
What about IQL?
Based on member feedback, AMGA sunset the Innovation, Quality, & Leadership Conference (IQL) and replaced it with more focused opportunities including the Fall Council Summit. By doing so, AMGA is able to provide more time for peer-to-peer networking and interaction for Council members to further expand their relationships and share solutions.
Can I switch between Councils?
Due to room capacity planning and the nature of the discussions, we kindly ask that you attend the Council meeting for which you register and best aligns with your role/responsibilities.
Will corporate partners be in the meeting rooms?
The joint Council sessions (keynotes, meals, and receptions) will feature corporate partners in addition to Council member. The individual Council breakouts, however, are limited to medical group Council members only. No corporate partners are allowed to participate, join, or sit-in.
What about the CFO Council?
The fall meeting of the CFO Council was moved alongside the Annual Compensation & Operations Improvement Meeting (September 12-14 in St. Louis, MO) to help cut down on travel costs for Council members as many CFOs attend both (and will be eligible for a discounted registration if they attend both the CFO and Comp & Ops meetings).
Is there a virtual option?
Due to the nature of the discussions, this meeting doesn't translate well into a virtual environment. As such, this meeting will be face-to-face to faciliate the networking and relationship building.
Code of Conduct
AMGA's Code of Conduct applies at all AMGA meetings, conferences, forums, and meeting-related events, including those sponsored by other organizations but held in conjunction with AMGA.
