OPS KNOWLEDGEFEST 2025
The only conference for healthcare operators
Knowledgefest is an intimate, invite only healthcare summit that brings together amazing operators to debate, discuss and share best practices + hot takes about all things operations
Built For Leaders In Operations Functions
We’re bringing high quality people and conversations directly to the people who are trying to solve them day in and day out.
You’ll meet your people, swap best practices and level up your ops toolkit along the way.
QUALITY > QUANTITY
1
More Specifics,
Less Powerpoints
The content is going to be a mix of presentations, breakouts, and debates. We’re purposefully not looking for high-level, PR trained executives who won’t say anything interesting on a panel or fireside. The idea is to actually talk about specifics and get actionable advice, templates, and methods to bring back to your company.
2
No Frills
There won’t be a ton of production, but we think that adds to the intimacy and a great way to mask our lack of budget.
3
Meet Your
People
We’re curating a group of diverse people who are passionate about healthcare and have unique perspectives. Before the event itself, we’re putting together virtual events so people have a chance to meet the other attendees.

If you’re in the operations function at a healthcare company and you've been looking for a "no fluff" event, we’d love to have you. We think it’s going to be a lot of fun, very informative, and will help you meet other people going through the same struggles you are.

FROM LAST YEAR
Well done Nikhil Krishnan and Danielle Poreh! Really enjoyed the content, but even more so the amazing group of operators you guys assembled. Looking forward to the next one!

A really great event! It was very cathartic to spend so much time with talented peers and hear about their successes (and challenges). Thanks for putting this on!

Knowledgefest provides a super unique community because you’re surrounded by people who experience different versions of complex, shared problems. This is a conference whose explicit purpose is to create an actionable environment to explore, solve, and connect around those challenges, share the ups and downs of those experiences, and get to know one another in an authentic way throughout. I could not recommend more highly!
Jared Scharf
Manager, Program Operations ~ Maimonides Medical Center
Every single session and transition was meticulously planned to make sure everyone came out with 3-5 tactical approaches to put to the test the next week. No need to ever go to a conference to connect with peers again!
Shohini Gupta
Senior Product Manager ~ First Hand
Knowledgefest was a (damn) pleasure. The planning was perfect from end-to-end; the mix of people and skillsets, the opportunities to meet ahead and after, the locations, the food, and of course, THE CONTENT. As promised, I left with templates, ideas, and tools that I drew on in the weeks following. It was also just fun, mostly because a rare space was cultivated where folks could be authentic. My only hope is that it is longer in future years!
Bobby Guelich
CEO ~ Elion
If you're an operator within a tech-enabled care delivery business, THIS is the conference you need to go to! Not only will you meet peers who are facing the same challenges as you and offer insight - you will walk away with tools & tips that you can implement immediately!
Jayesh Srivastava
General Manager ~ Evergreen Nephrology
A really great event! It was very cathartic to spend so much time with talented peers and hear about their successes (and challenges). Thanks for putting this on!
KevinDeLury
Principal ~ ClearTurn Consulting
It was a refreshingly tactical experience — we didn’t get stuck in the clouds talking about theoretical ideas; we got to the brass tacks of how to do the hard work that needs doing. Also, what kind of conference runs on time? An operator conference, evidently.
Doug Streat
COO ~ Aledade Care Solutions
Thanks for organizing this Nikhil Krishnan and Danielle Poreh - it was one of the most energizing and refreshing conferences I’ve been to in some time. Appreciate the opportunity to partake, get real with, and learn from so many leaders in the healthcare space.
Alyssa Segula
Head of Care, Customer Success ~ Digbi
So niche, so fresh, so useful! The best way to meet other peeps in digital health who are going through similar challenges.
Julia Chapin
COO ~ Abridge
Knowledgefest is the most useful conference that I've ever been to. From the relevant and well-facilitated workshops to the caliber of Ops individuals attending, everything is catered to help up your operational game. There is a focus on immediate application, too - I have a lot of tactics (with supporting frameworks) that I'm going to apply to my day-to-day, starting Monday.
Nate Brown
SVP, Operations ~ Thyme Care
A conference so fun, you'll sign up to attend it on a weekend" But seriously, I deeply enjoyed being among like-minded people putting together an event that aims to be both actionable and interesting
Sarah Cohan
Senior Manager, Product Marketing ~ Turquoise Health
Knowledgefest brings together the best operators from every corner of health tech - the sessions are relevant, useful, and fun. Knowledgefest sends you home with real ideas you can implement the next day.
Tina Noohi
Director, Implementation & Partnerships ~ Nest Health
I came away with a whole notebook of “tomorrow-ready” ideas and tactics. Highly valuable for both my roles in a large health system and advisory roles. I couldn’t ask for a nicer and more helpful group of Knowledge Festers!
Matt Sakumoto
Regional CMIO and Digital Health Advisor ~ Health Advisor
Knowledgefest is the most action-oriented conference you can get! Going back to work following the conference, I was able to immediately implement some of the learnings I had from Knowledgefest. The group of people was such that I could immediately find someone who was living through the same challenges and was excited to riff on solutions. Sessions were built to be tactical, allowing attendees to leave with specific templates and tools they could put into action.
Steph Grice
GM, Clinical Operations ~ Harbor Health
Knowledgefest was relevant, intentional, and practical. I left with things to implement on Monday morning and a list of contacts who are quick and willing to provide a suggestion or troubleshoot. I will be advocating for someone from my team to be at all future Knowledgefests. You know when there's a super niche joke or meme that only certain coworkers get and then you try to explain to your non-work friend why something is funny and it never lands? Knowledgefest was all of the first part with none of the second part.
Kelsie Brandt
VP, Strategic Operations ~ Nest Health
The Knowledgefest team put together an incredible gathering of doers and problem-solvers. I learned something useful from everyone I met.
Jared Drake
President & COO ~ WiserCare, Inc.
It was great, really appreciate the time and energy you all spend to put it together. Best conference I have ever been to.
Alex Kubal
Sr. Director Supply Chain ~ Thirty Madison
