A new year brings fresh momentum and an opportunity to look ahead with intention. It’s a time to learn from one another, share what’s working and gather insight for what comes next.
The 2026 Learning Forum, taking place May 11-14 in New Orleans, gives current OCHIN members a chance to learn and be inspired in a city known for creativity and collaboration. This annual enrichment event is a cornerstone of the OCHIN member experience, offering real-world approaches and collaborative learning that help members thrive in a rapidly changing health care environment.
There’s something for everyone at the OCHIN Learning Forum, from proven strategies and focused learning tracks to inspiration and meaningful connections. Below are five reasons why OCHIN members prioritize and participate in this annual event.

1. Shared learning and development
With an agenda that includes nearly 200 learning and enrichment sessions tailored to OCHIN members, attendees will gain strategies to strengthen financial and operational performance, enhance whole-person care and boost clinician efficiency and satisfaction.
These sessions cover industry trends and recommendations, reflecting the collective expertise of the OCHIN network and giving members practical tools and strategies they can apply right away. New this year, we’re also offering executive learning tracks and spotlight sessions focused on AI, automation and emerging best-practice technologies.
2. Peer-to-peer connections
One of the most valuable aspects of the Learning Forum—and OCHIN membership—is the opportunity to connect with network peers and industry leaders.
Through informal conversations and structured networking opportunities, attendees build relationships that extend beyond the event, strengthening collaboration across the OCHIN network and supporting professional growth, along with a shared sense of navigating challenges together.
3. Inspiration and motivation
Discover how OCHIN members are approaching today’s toughest industry challenges. Learning from case studies and success stories shared throughout the Learning Forum can spark creativity, offer encouragement and serve as a reminder of what’s possible—even during uncertain times.
4. Celebrate with the OCHIN member network
Join fellow members for exclusive appreciation events, including a welcome reception at the House of Blues and the annual OCHIN Impact Awards luncheon, which celebrates member leadership and their impact on the health and well-being of patients, providers, care teams, and communities.
5. Impact that extends beyond the event
Attendees consistently report that the Learning Forum delivers lasting value, providing fresh perspectives and real-world strategies that improve processes, strengthen care teams and administrative staff, and build resilience in a rapidly evolving health care environment.
“I think that's what OCHIN is about,” said Julia Liou, chief information officer at Asian Health Services, a 2025 OCHIN Learning Forum Impact Award recipient. “It's about believing in health centers, supporting us where we're at, and being able to really help us push forward on a trajectory of transformation.”
