ROI & Performance Marketing Week

A virtual summit for healthcare marketers and digital strategists from eHealthcare Strategy & Trends

September 14-18, 2026

Hospital and health system marketing leaders must prove measurable ROI. 

In today’s financially challenging environment, leaders in healthcare organizations scrutinize budgets and demand evidence that marketing investments drive profitability and growth. 

The ROI & Performance Marketing Week virtual summit will deliver a week of focused, one-hour sessions presenting strategies for proving the measurable impact of marketing and advertising. From brand awareness campaigns and physician referral strategies to targeted digital outreach, healthcare marketing experts will show how they connect spend with return, and how they position themselves as strategic partners at the leadership table.

Join us for a full week of programming for marketing and digital leaders at hospitals, health systems, and other healthcare provider organizations.
