FIVE Experience
Introducing FIVE: the complete HBA flagship experience
Five decades ago, five founders came together with a vision to strengthen leadership and connection across the health ecosystem. That vision became a global community representing a workforce of nearly five million.
In 2027, as HBA marks its 50th anniversary, our community will come together for the beginning of an extraordinary new chapter: FIVE, the complete HBA flagship experience.
Taking place 15–18 June 2027 in New York City, FIVE will unite leadership development, industry insight, meaningful connection, recognition, and celebration in one intentionally designed journey.
This is where HBA’s history meets what comes next.
Five Commitments. One Complete Experience.
