Change Starts Small: Designing Health People Actually Choose

Chris’ energizing keynote will explore the rise of the “nudge economy” and why the future of behavior change will belong to organizations that meet people where they are. From retail environments to digital experiences, the biggest opportunity is in removing the friction that keeps consumers from taking the first step.

Danny Meyer

Enlightened Hospitality Meets Retail Health: Building Community Through Care

In this keynote, Danny Meyer explores how the philosophy of “enlightened hospitality,” which centers on putting people first, from guests to employees to the broader community, can reshape the future of food, health and retail care. As healthcare and nutrition systems increasingly prioritize efficiency and scale, Meyer invites leaders to reconsider these models through a more human-centered lens rooted in warmth, inclusion and genuine connection.
