2025 Healthcare Summit | Potomac Officers Club
RegisterWHAT
Potomac Officers Club is thrilled to host our year-closing 2025 Healthcare Summit, an essential annual GovCon conference where the most pressing topics in healthcare technology and citizen user experience are discussed. Every year at this event, innovative new ideas are formulated, problems are solved collaboratively amongst speakers and guests alike, and attendees are left with an acute sense of where the federal healthcare industry stands.
The foremost thought leaders in government healthcare technology — particularly those supporting warfighter health at places like the Defense Health Agency and Department of Veterans Affairs — will take the stage alongside prominent figures from industry during informative keynote speeches and exciting panel crosstalk.
If you’re looking to start new business or strengthen existing partnerships with organizations such as the Department of Health and Human Services or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is the event for you.
