Sponsor Dignified Futures

Why Sponsor?

The health system is broken, so what if we stopped shrugging and started building?

Dignified Futures brings together futurists, designers, health leaders, insurers, financial innovators, and social impact changemakers to imagine what health and care could look like in 2050, and to start building toward it now. Since 2024, this community has gathered in Boston, Atlanta, and Chicago. In 2027, we’re coming to the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

Day 1 brings keynotes, Ignite talks, and skill-building workshops. Day 2 is the heart of the conference: small-team Futures Challenge workshops that go deep on one focus area. As a sponsor, you put your name, your people, and your toughest questions in the middle of that work.

What can your organization expect?

• A wide range of ideas and viewpoints that shape the future of health

• Fresh insight into an area that matters to your organization

• Chances to collaborate with other organizations

• Brand positioning as an innovator

• Connections with passionate designers and innovators looking for organizations like yours

The 2027 Focus Areas

• Healthy Living: What if staying healthy were easier than getting sick?

• Experiences of Care: What would it feel like to get care that works for you?

• Health Finance: What if no one had to choose between their health and their financial future?

• Human Connection: What if no one ever had to face their care alone?

• Tech that Heals: What if technology quietly made every part of health easier?
