Annual Conference Travel Update
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Houston!
The 2026 HBA Annual Conference is proceeding as scheduled, 16–18 November.
Following Friday's nationwide ground stop, airlines have resumed operations and are working to restore normal schedules. While some travel disruptions may continue throughout the weekend, we encourage attendees to monitor their flight status and work directly with their airlines to confirm travel arrangements.
Our team is actively monitoring the situation. Any important updates regarding the conference will be shared here and through the HBA Annual Conference app.
If you experience significant travel disruptions that affect your arrival, particularly if you are registered for a Monday morning Signature Experience, please contact us at HBA@HBAnet.org.
Safe travels! We look forward to seeing you in Houston for an inspiring few days of learning, connection and impact.

Future Focused. Impact Driven.
Lead What’s Next in Healthcare.
Healthcare is being reshaped by AI, workforce redesign, geopolitical pressure, innovation demands, and rising expectations for equity and outcomes.
The HBA Annual Conference convenes the leaders shaping what comes next across biotech, biopharma, medtech, digital health, research, and care delivery.
Three days. Three defining questions.
Built for leaders operating in complexity.
The Future Will Not Wait. Neither Can Leadership.
You are expected to anticipate what’s coming while delivering results now.
To redesign work while sustaining culture.
To think long-term while operating inside quarterly pressure.
Most leaders don’t lack ambition. They lack space to think at altitude.
This conference is that space.
