Annual customer conference will offer exclusive first access to major Kipu innovations and explore the business, technology and policy forces transforming behavioral healthcare

MIAMI, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As behavioral health organizations confront accelerating technological change, mounting financial pressure, and regulatory complexity, Kipu Health today announced ELEVATE 2027, its annual customer conference focused on helping industry leaders prepare for what comes next.

Hosted May 3–5, 2027, at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, ELEVATE 2027 – The Kipu Customer Conference will bring together behavioral health executives, operators, administrators, technology leaders and industry partners for three days of education, collaboration and connection.

Building on the momentum of ELEVATE 2026, next year’s conference will offer an even broader look at the decisions shaping behavioral healthcare, from navigating reimbursement and regulatory change to strengthening financial performance, building a connected technology foundation and identifying where AI can deliver measurable value.

ELEVATE 2027 will give attendees exclusive first access to Kipu’s newest innovations in agentic AI, care delivery, revenue management and patient acquisition. As a showcase for major Kipu releases, the conference will offer an early look at new capabilities, direct access to the teams behind them, and practical insight into how these innovations can support their organizations.

Preparing Leaders for a Changing Behavioral Health Landscape

Behavioral health organizations are being asked to expand access, improve outcomes and demonstrate greater operational and financial discipline, often with limited resources and increasing external pressure. At the same time, consolidation, emerging technology and changing payer expectations are creating new opportunities for organizations prepared to act.

“At Kipu, we have the privilege of working alongside the people navigating these challenges every day,” said Carina Edwards, CEO of Kipu Health. “ELEVATE gives our customers an opportunity to step outside of the day-to-day, learn from one another and have candid conversations about the decisions that will shape their organizations and the future of behavioral healthcare.”

ELEVATE 2027 will bring together leaders with firsthand experience addressing the industry’s most consequential questions. Attendees will hear how executives are evaluating growth opportunities, preparing for investment and M&A activity, responding to payer and regulatory shifts, and protecting margins as labor, reimbursement and operating costs continue to pressure the business.

The conference will also look beyond the promise of artificial intelligence to examine what is delivering real value today, what is not and how organizations can adopt AI responsibly across connected workflows. Discussions will explore how leaders can move beyond isolated tools and experiments to create measurable improvements while managing governance, adoption and risk.

Practical Insight for Executives and Kipu Administrators

ELEVATE 2027 will offer dedicated experiences designed around the priorities of behavioral health executives and Kipu administrators. Executive programming will examine the strategic and operational forces influencing organizational performance and growth, while administrator sessions will provide hands-on education, peer learning and direct access to the teams building and supporting Kipu’s technology.

Across both experiences, attendees will be able to learn from peers, explore the latest Kipu innovations and participate in conversations that connect technology decisions with real organizational and patient impact.

Advancing Behavioral Healthcare Through Community

At the heart of ELEVATE is the belief that behavioral healthcare moves forward when its leaders openly share what they are learning. The conference brings together people with different roles, experiences and perspectives to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges and identify practical ways to strengthen their organizations.

“ELEVATE was a great place for owners and C-suite leaders to connect and have honest conversations about the real issues facing our industry,” said Glenn Hadley, Chief Growth Officer at JGHealthcare Solutions and Partner at Apt Financial. “I valued the opportunity to learn from one another, share what’s working and talk through the challenges we’re all navigating. I’m looking forward to continuing those conversations at ELEVATE 2027.”

That spirit of shared learning will continue at ELEVATE 2027 through educational programming, networking opportunities, direct access to Kipu experts and partners, and signature experiences including the Kipu Cup golf tournament.
