The 2026 Conference Team

We are proud that the Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference (KBHC) is an entirely student-run conference. Bringing experiences from across the healthcare ecosystem including technology, payer, provider, devices, life sciences, finance, and more, students from Kellogg School of Management’s various MBA programs (2Y, 1Y, MMM, JD-MBA, MD-MBA, E&W, JV) collaborate annually to bring KBHC to life.
