EXPO15 - Lightning Conversations on Behavioral Health Innovation: Fast-Paced Conversations Between Community Behavioral Health Providers and Technology Partners
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
3:20 PM - 3:55 PM MDT
Location: Exhibit Hall Theater
The Lightning Series is a high-energy session hosted in the NatCon exhibit hall featuring a series of brief, facilitated conversations between community behavioral health organizations and technology companies. Each conversation will highlight the innovation that occurs between these stakeholder groups, with particular emphasis on impact and lessons learned. Focus will be on innovation occurring beyond the usual realm of technology adoption (e.g., beyond MIC, EHR, AI Scribe implementation).
Learning Objectives:
Showcase real innovation happening at the intersection of community-based care and technology.
Motivate audiences (e.g., CBOs and technology companies) to put time and effort into cultivating relationships that can lead to innovation.
Reinforce the importance of partnership and collaboration over sales pitches, siloed product development, and CBO risk aversion.
