More about the agenda
Every session, break, and moment of the day is designed with intention. You'll leave with clinical skills you can use immediately, a closer look at what Grow is building to support your practice, and connections that extend well beyond the day.
Keynote:
Dr. Jasmine Smith opens the day with an honest look at the journey we’re all navigating — as clinicians, as people, as a community finding its footing in a fast-changing field.
CE breakout sessions:
Two rounds of accredited sessions across clinical specialties. Choose what’s most relevant to your practice, including a specific track for prescribers.
Lightning rounds:
Grow providers take the stage to share the insights, stories, and lessons that shape their work. Fast, candid, and genuinely worth staying for.
Built-in breaks:
Three activation and networking breaks throughout the day — time to explore the space, connect with sponsors, and decompress between sessions.
Creative & wellness moments:
Optional activities designed to recharge your mind and body throughout the day.
