About this event
Half-day in-person working session in Atlanta. This is a working format — not a panel. Brokers and benefits leaders come prepared to share one rollout decision they're sweating, and leave with concrete framing from peers who've done it.
Sidecar Health hosts; the agenda is shaped by attendees in the first 15 minutes. Three working sessions across the morning, lunch and refreshments provided. Limited to 30 attendees to keep the conversation working.
What you’ll learn
- What's working across 30 rollouts
Curated lessons from Sidecar's own book on which any-provider rollout patterns are landing in 2026. - Where rollouts quietly fail
The three failure modes that show up in months 4-6, and the early-warning signs to catch them in month one. - Working session: your specific decision
Bring one rollout decision you're sweating; leave with framing from peers who've already been there. - What to bring back to your team
One structured framework you can run in your next benefits-strategy meeting on Monday.
