ABOUT

Converge is a supernova of networking opportunities.

It breaks the mold of conventional healthcare technology conferences. In fact, it’s quite the anomaly.

Converge is NASCO’s annual conference that draws on our experience and co-creation with our Blue Cross and Blue Shield and technology partners. It’s not your average, stuffy conference. At NASCO, everyone is family, and Converge feels like homecoming!

At a broad level, Converge is just what it sounds like: a convergence of industry leaders and experts. You won’t find anything static or stale on our agenda. Converge is all about sharing ideas, inspiring creativity and cultivating conversations and innovation. Collaboration isn’t just a word at Converge, it’s a real thing! And it’s probably the best part, aside from the fact that it’s FREE to register! You only have to pay for your hotel and travel accommodations — I mean, you can’t beat that!

Converge provides the perfect backdrop for collaboration, innovation and co-creation, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the party!
