Some speakers join us for a moment. Judy Faulkner has become part of the Forbes Healthcare Summit tradition.

On December 2 in New York City, Epic's Founder and CEO will return to the Forbes Healthcare Summit yet again. This year, her return will mark an especially meaningful moment as Faulkner receives the Forbes Lifetime Achievement Award for Healthcare, recognizing her extraordinary and lasting impact on healthcare and the technology that powers it.

Apply today for the opportunity to join Judy Faulkner and leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem at the 2026 Forbes Healthcare Summit to watch as Judy receives her award.

Faulkner has spent decades quietly building Epic into a company whose technology has become deeply embedded in how healthcare is delivered. Each year, her conversations at the Summit have offered a candid look at what she sees coming next, from the future of care delivery and the patient experience to AI and Epic’s evolving vision for “healthcare intelligence.”

This year, that perspective is especially timely. As AI, precision medicine and other new technologies create new possibilities for longer, healthier lives, healthcare leaders are confronting an equally important question: How do we turn innovation into meaningful improvements for patients and the people who care for them?

Sincerely,
The Forbes Healthcare Summit Team
