With the 2026 CAHL Congress on the horizon, CAHL President Corina Clark, MPA, FACHE shares a reflection on the powerful connections and lasting impact of the 2025 Congress.
“When I think back on last year’s CAHL Congress, one word comes to mind, energy. With over 350 healthcare leaders in the room, it was more than a gathering. We created a space where ideas were challenged, perspectives expanded, and meaningful connections were formed. The kind of experience that stays with you long after the event ends.”
I watched leaders lean in, sharing openly, thinking boldly, and stepping fully into the responsibility we carry in this moment. Because healthcare doesn’t evolve in isolation. It evolves when we come together with intention, curiosity, and a willingness to lead differently.
That’s what makes CAHL Congress so special.
It’s not just about the sessions; it’s about the people in the room and the collective commitment to move our field forward. This year in Sacramento, we are thoughtfully elevating the experience—a more curated 1.5-day Congress, deeper dialogue, expanded opportunities for connection, and the same high-caliber community of leaders who continue to shape healthcare across California and beyond. With in-person ACHE credits, an international best selling author keynote speaker, and an environment designed for meaningful exchange, this is where leadership grows.
If you joined us last year, you felt it.
If you didn’t, we would love to welcome you into the room this year.
CAHL Congress has sold out the past two years, and we anticipate another sold out event.
Early bird tickets for our 2026 CAHL Congress go on sale July 1.”
