Healthcare Changemakers, Benefits Advisors, Employers, Clinicians, and Innovators Invited to Access the Best Education and Experts in the Industry, All in One City, One Week

Nashville, Tenn. — March 17, 2026 — The Health Care Administrators Association (HCAA) and Health Rosetta are joining forces this summer to bring the healthcare industry’s most forward-thinking professionals together in Nashville, Tennessee for an unprecedented week of education, collaboration, and innovation. The HCAA TPA Summit 2026, held July 27–29 at the Renaissance Hotel Nashville, and RosettaFest, held July 29–31 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, represent two of the most impactful events in self-funded and high-performance healthcare, and for the first time, they are taking place in the same city  during the same week.

For healthcare changemakers serious about cutting costs, improving outcomes, and staying at the forefront of industry transformation, Nashville this July is the place to be.

A Convergence Built for Those Ready to Lead

The decision to align these two events reflects a shared conviction between HCAA and Health Rosetta: that the people best positioned to fix American healthcare are already in the room; they simply need the right environment to connect, learn, and act.

Together, the HCAA TPA Summit 2026 and RosettaFest bring together the full spectrum of professionals driving meaningful change, from third-party administrators and benefit advisors managing self-funded plans, to employers, physicians, and innovators building a new healthcare economy from the ground up. Attendees of both events will find themselves immersed in the most concentrated gathering of healthcare expertise, practical tools, and peer insight available anywhere in the industry.

The HCAA TPA Summit 2026 opens the week as the industry’s premier gathering for TPA operations professionals, beginning with a welcome reception and sponsor setup on the evening of July 27, followed by 1.5 days of focused education on the regulatory, operational, and strategic challenges shaping the future of self-funded healthcare. RosettaFest picks up on July 29, the bridge day between both events, and continues through July 31 with sessions, workshops, and roundtables designed for real-world implementation across every corner of the healthcare ecosystem.

RosettaFest programming spans the full range of what it takes to build and sustain a high-performance health plan, from selecting and contracting with the right partners, to working directly with transparently priced, superior-quality physicians and facilities, to deploying the right expert solutions with a genuine fiduciary commitment. Powered in part by Nautilus Health Institute’s open-source resources, developed through more than $4 million in expert contributions, attendees gain access to battle-tested tools for procurement, contracting, and vendor selection that are freely available and immediately actionable.

Particularly relevant for HCAA members, Nautilus’s TPA Procurement, Contracting & Management Project — freely available at nautilushealth.org/tpa — delivers model contract language, RFP templates, compliance guides, and data frameworks purpose-built for the TPA community.

Voices Behind the Partnership

“The HCAA TPA Summit has always been about equipping our members with the knowledge, relationships, and tools they need to lead with confidence in a rapidly changing industry. Nashville is going to be a remarkable gathering, and being in the same city as RosettaFest means our attendees will have access to an even broader community of the people who are genuinely transforming healthcare in this country.”

— Carol Berry, CSFS, Chief Executive Officer, Health Care Administrators Association

“A movement is converging. The self-funded community has spent years building the operational foundation — mastering the fundamentals that prove employers don’t have to accept a broken status quo. RosettaFest and Health Rosetta, powered by Nautilus Health Institute’s open-source tools, are where that foundation scales into something that rebuilds communities. HCAA has laid the groundwork. Nashville is where we build what’s next.”

— Dave Chase, Co-Founder, Health Rosetta; Co-Creator, RosettaFest; Bestselling Author; TEDx Speaker

“I’ve sat on both sides of this collaboration, building HCAA’s event programming from the inside as a volunteer and co-creating RosettaFest from the ground up. Bringing these two communities together in Nashville wasn’t accidental. It was intentional. HCAA self-funded member organizations have the operational expertise. The Health Rosetta ecosystem has the clinical and benefits models, the tools, and the proven fixes. Together, they accelerate the learning, the implementation, and the movement. That’s exactly what Nashville this July is designed to do.”

— LynAnn Henderson, Events Director, Health Rosetta; Co-Creator & Executive Producer, RosettaFest; CEO, Kynexions
