Built on Relationships, Not Presentations: The 12th Annual Healthcare Consortium Evolves into the Iron Summit (IS)

Date: February 12-15, 2026 Location: Sunriver, Oregon

Veritas Allies recently concluded its 12th Annual Healthcare Consortium, held February 12–15 in Sunriver, Oregon. The multi-day gathering brought together a select group of industry leaders, third-party administrators, brokers, and strategic partners for an intimate experience focused on collaboration, education, and relationship-driven growth.

A More Intentional Format for Deeper Conversations

Unlike a traditional conference format, this year's consortium was designed to foster meaningful conversations around business strategy, leadership, legal protection, and organizational development. We felt that an intimate experience would be a more effective way to discuss the evolving cost containment landscape and beyond.

Industry Expertise & Human Performance Insights & Sponsor-Supported Sessions

Attendees participated in Confab Sessions covering led by respected industry voices including:

• Mike Bishop (LegalShield)

• Rick Ritchie (Acrisure)

• Jon Harrison (Wellyfe)

• Tino Versoza (Benefit Intelligence).

Attendees also heard from keynote speaker Britt Lefkoe, who delivered an engaging session on mindset, behavior change, and neuroscience inspiring attendees to rethink limitations and embrace new possibilities in both business and life.

The event was made possible with the support of various valued sponsors. Their participation helped fuel a series of educational, strategic, and connection-driven sessions throughout the consortium.

An Experience Built Around Authentic Connection

At its core, the consortium was more than a series of presentations, it was about people. By bringing together a diverse group of professionals in an intentionally intimate setting, the event created space for honest dialogue, meaningful connection, and personal reflection. Attendees left with more than notes and takeaways, they left with new relationships, inspiration, and a refreshed mindset for how they show up in their work and in life.

“The consortium continues to prove that the strongest partnerships are built through shared experiences and open dialogue,” said David Vizzini, Founder and CEO of Veritas Allies. “When we bring together like-minded professionals in an environment designed for collaboration, real progress happens - for our organizations and, more importantly, for the organizations and people we serve.”

Now in its twelfth year, the Healthcare Consortium will now be known as the “Iron Summit (IS)”, a cornerstone event for Veritas Allies and its partners, reinforcing the company’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrated business solutions.
