2024 Highlights

The PHM HealthFront 2024 welcomed 500 attendees to a two-day event featuring 18 thought-provoking sessions with significant voices in health, media and culture.

If exploration was the agenda, authenticity was the message, introduced on Day 1 by actress and bestselling author Brooke Shields and echoed across multiple sessions as panelists discussed original content, self-advocacy, evolving social platforms and more. From navigating the data deluge to the future of healthcare in retail, the first day of the HealthFront provided a forum for some of the industry’s most influential voices.

The theme of self-advocacy continued into Day 2, as actress and advocate Gabrielle Union-Wade discussed her health journey and the power of social media in connecting patient communities. The day continued with discussions on the enduring power of sports and how AI will transform media, concluding with a reflection on the topics and trends discussed with PHM President Andrea Palmer and Brian Cooley, Editor-at-Large, CNET.
