About the UCSF Rosenman Symposium

The UCSF Rosenman Symposium is where the real talk happens—no recordings, just raw, unfiltered conversations on the business of healthcare. This invite-only event gathers power players—investors, CEOs, policymakers, UCSF leaders, and top executives. You’ll get insider access to what’s really broken in healthcare, from access to affordability to what it will take to fix it.

And the best part? You’ll sit down with people you’d never otherwise connect—visionaries, investors, and industry leaders—for high-impact roundtable discussions that will challenge your thinking, expand your network, and help you turn insights into action.

We are currently accepting applications for tickets. If your application is selected, you will receive an invitation to register. For questions or further information, please contact hello@rosenmaninstitute.org.

The event everyone’s talking about…

The Jeffersonian dinner format was terrific for getting to know people on a deeper level. All in all, this was the best conference I’ve attended in a long while. Thank you!

I loved the depth and breadth of the discussions. The ground rules and general tenor of the conference really sets the tone for substance over performative conversation.

The Symposium brings together a truly remarkable mix of leaders representing innovators, scaled players, investors, care providers, academicians and researchers – WOW.  And, it does so in a structure that facilitates dialog in a manageable scale.
