Private Healthcare Meetings Built for Access, Insight, and Real Conversation
No trade shows. Just the minds that matter. Since 2003, IHES has brought hand-selected healthcare executives and innovative companies for invitation-only meetings designed for candor, connection, and lasting value.
Why IHES Is Different
Most industry events are built for volume. IHES is built for relevance.
Invitation-Only by Design
No exhibit halls. No badge scanners. No crowded floors. Every meeting is intentionally designed to keep the conversation focused, relevant, and worthwhile.
Hand-Selected Executive Participation
We bring together CEOs, pharmacy leaders, supply chain executives, and other health system decision-makers selected for the perspective and value they bring to the room.
Structured Company Panels
Corporate members engage directly with executives in small-group sessions designed for candid discussion, thoughtful feedback, and meaningful interaction — not sales theater.
Long-Term Relationship Value
The value of IHES extends well beyond the meeting itself, creating relationships that continue long after the event ends.
How IHES Works
IHES meetings are intentionally small, private, and structured to create meaningful conversations between healthcare leaders and the companies serving them.
Who's Invited
Each meeting is invitation-only and limited in attendance. Participants are selected based on relevance, alignment, and the value they bring to the conversation.
How Leaders Are Chosen
Executives are hand-selected from across healthcare, including CEOs, pharmacy leaders, supply chain executives, and other decision-makers from leading health systems.
What Happens in the Room
Companies participate in small, structured sessions designed for candid discussion, thoughtful feedback, and meaningful interaction — not trade show noise, rushed introductions, or surface-level networking.
What Happens After the Meeting
The value of IHES extends beyond the event itself, creating stronger relationships, better market insight, and ongoing connections that continue well after the meeting ends.

Coming SoonWhat Leaders Say About IHES
Our experience as an active member of CPES and our relationship with Hays has been unbelievably valuable and highly redeeming. The quality and likemindedness of the partnerships we've developed is unparalleled, and we have made so many great connections in the healthcare industry with leaders who share a common goal to prioritize the improvement of patient care.
IHES has been such a wonderful experience over the years. Hays has truly created an environment of collaboration between healthcare C-suite executives and the companies that serve them. The group of hospital CEOs that participate represent all ends of the healthcare spectrum, from sophisticated IDNs to regional and rural. By far the best events of their kind.
I think CSCE provides the best networking experience that I encounter. I have access to the industry's leading Supply Chain executives and get to interact with cutting edge and innovative suppliers. The annual meeting is one that I wouldn't miss!
