What Others are Saying
"The 229 Project CIOs was one of the most valuable connections I have made with my peers and leading technology partners. The collaboration and discussion during the onsite event was valuable, but the ongoing dialogue that continues is what is priceless. Thank you for the opportunity to bring CIOs together in a true learning environment."
Donna Roach
Chief Information Officer | University of Utah Health
"I would highly recommend 229 as the investment in time and the return on networking and the sharing of ideas are invaluable!"
Craig Richardville
Former Chief Information Officer | Intermountain Health
"A relaxed atmosphere where a small group of colleagues can come together to share and learn from each other. I am in contact with many of the attendees on a variety of topics which were discussed. My organization will benefit from this event."

A 229 Event Experience...
Why 229?
With the first confirmed COVID-19 case on February 29th in the United States came grief, confusion, and an overwhelming burden on our healthcare system.
229 Groups were founded on the belief that bringing health IT leaders into small, intentional conversations could propel the continuation of the type of innovation and collaboration we saw happen post February 29th.
What makes a 229 Meeting distinct:
- Small Groups / Dynamic Discussions
- Limited Topics allow you to drill down with your peers on relevant challenges
- Facilitated Peer-to-Peer interaction
- Fantastic settings for a great retreat, bring your plus one
- Emphasis on relationship building
Typical Schedule
5:45pm - Cocktails
