FAQS

Thrive is unlike any other health, wellbeing, or engagement industry conference. It’s a comprehensive yet intimate conference, attended by HR and marketing executives and leaders, all of whom are facing similar challenges and eager for real results.  
 

This is a rare opportunity to learn firsthand how other administrators, leaders, and executives across the country are tackling some of the industry's biggest challenges, including workplace health and wellbeing, employee engagement, organizational culture, patient acquisition and retention, exceptional member experience, and more. Our event is designed so that attendees can engage with each other, share insights, explore each other’s successes and challenges, and experience the latest health and wellbeing innovations. 
 

Attendees gain actionable, real-life strategies for evolving programs and achieving positive outcomes. You'll also hear from Virgin Pulse leaders on our product vision and innovation for 2023 and engage in 35+ interactive sessions centered around the power of engagement, market trends, firsthand client experiences, and key takeaways.
