What is a Regional Staff Roundtable?

What Others are Saying

Donna Roach

"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."

A 229 Event Experience...

Fosters relationships
Intentionally builds participants network
Provides an environment for honest and open dialog
Fosters idea sharing and collaboration amongst participants
Establishes collaboration well beyond a single meeting
Brings people together who share a passion to make the healthcare experience better

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
