9 Reasons to Attend Hint Summit 2020

Written by Chris Boulanger | February 29, 2020

Not sure if you should come to Hint Summit 2020 this year? Here are a few of the many reasons you'll want to be there.

Reason #1: New Strategies

Hint Summit is designed to surface and educate about new DPC growth, care and operational strategies.

Each session topic is chosen with an eye toward accelerating DPC adoption, innovating in care delivery, and making DPC an even more sustainable business model.

If you’re looking for your next growth initiative, or examining how to improve your current operations, then Hint Summit should be on your calendar.


Reason #2: See How DPC is Done in Denver

As we’ve mentioned, Denver is a hub of DPC practices and innovation. While every locale has its own nuances, seeing for yourself how a thriving community looks and how it nurtures access can help you figure out how to grow DPC faster in your own hometown.

If you’re looking for tips on building a local community and patient demand, then Hint Summit is a great place to ask questions and learn by example.


Reason #3: Introducing DPC Accelerator Workshops

This is the inaugural year of our DPC Accelerator courses, a collaboration with DPC Alliance to help beginner and intermediate DPC organizations launch, grow, and manage better. There will be 2 tracks:

  1. Building a DPC Practice: Designed for pre-launch and recently-launched organizations. Learn about DPC legal, operational, marketing, and management best practices from successful DPC physician-leaders and other experts.
  2. Working & Growing with Employers: Learn the ins-and-outs of direct contracting, working with benefits advisors, affiliating with other practices, and showing value to employers in order to successfully tap into the employer market.

If you're figuring out how to launch, or looking to build a strong foundation for your new practice, then the Accelerator workshops are one of the many benefits of coming to Hint Summit.


Reason #4: Big Names with Big Ideas

Hint is focused on transforming healthcare by making direct care the new standard. To do this, we need to constantly identify and adapt to changes in the political, social, and economic landscape. At Hint Summit, we bring together leaders that are shaping the dialogue around healthcare -- and who believe in DPC -- to keep us on our toes and ready for what comes next.

This year, we’ve brought together an amazing group of Keynotes to anchor the event: 

 

Marilyn Bartlett

Senior Policy Fellow, National Academy for State Health Policy

 

Julie Gunther

President, DPC Alliance, Founder, sparkMD, Courageous physician leader/entrepreneur

 

Marty Makary

New York Times bestselling author, Johns Hopkins professor of public health

If big ideas and bold stories energize you and drive you to strive, then you'll want to hear from these amazing speakers at Hint Summit.

Reason #5: The Leading DPC Vendors Under One Roof

Seems like new DPC vendors are popping up every week, but companies like Elation, Spruce, and KPI Ninja have proven their commitment to helping DPC grow faster and smarter. At Hint Summit, you’ll find them and a few new names under one roof and ready to talk to you about their products. You’ll also attend sessions where the leaders of these companies share insights into using the software and show how you can extract even more value from the tools. 

Here’s an example of the insights that our vendor partners share each year:

If you’re looking to unlock even more potential in your practice or enhance your tech stack, then Hint Summit has something for you.


Reason #6: Networking that Works

96% of last year’s attendees said that Hint Summit networking opportunities were valuable.

Why? Because they could easily connect with movers and shakers across the entire DPC ecosystem: doctors, executives, patients, brokers, employers, vendors, health plans, cost sharing orgs, and other critical stakeholders. At Hint Summit, you meet and chat without boundaries, learn together & passionately celebrate the movement.

If you’re looking for new business partners, companions on your DPC Journey, or people to inspire you, then you’ll want to be at the EXDO Center in May.


Reason #7: The Amenities & Style of Denver’s LoDo District

We’ve made it a point to integrate great locations and activities into the event, so you can get a satisfying taste of what Denver has to offer. The conference hotels are located in the LoDo district of Denver near nightlife, Coors Field and other attractions. And we’ll be hosting workshops and our opening night Mixer in the area.

If you’re a fan of great weather, cool architecture, rich history,  hip hotels, friendly people, and great food, then you’ll have a great time with us in Denver.


Reason #8: Meet Us!!

We’re not expecting you to travel to Hint Summit simply to say “Hi” to us. That said, the leaders of our Product, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams will be there to answer questions, take feedback, share what we’re up to, and do everything we can to make your Hint Summit experience amazing.

If you’re wondering what’s next for Hint, or want to see our commitment to DPC up close, then join us at Hint Summit.


Reason #9: Party at Red Rocks

We always try to close out Hint Summit with an unforgettable experience, something that brings us together to celebrate the progress we’ve made as a community. This year, we're headed to Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

We’ll take over the Rock Room, an exclusive hall where we’ll enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and you’ll be able to go out and explore the entire venue. That night’s show might be a little out there — with Liquid Stranger & Subtronics performing — but we’ve got no doubt it will be a great scene.

If you're looking for a chance to let loose with the friendly and fun Direct Primary Care community, then you'll want to be there for this party.
