The RISE CMS Bid Boot Camp will no longer be held as a standalone event. Bid process content — benchmarks, pricing, validation, and benefit design — now lives at RISE National, the Medicare Advantage industry’s #1 event of the year.

The Medicare Advantage landscape continues to evolve, and we’re hearing the same thing across our community: organizations are being more intentional than ever about how they invest their conference time and budgets.

That’s why RISE is taking a more focused approach to our conference lineup.

By bringing more of our community together at fewer, higher-impact events, we’re creating even more opportunities to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas with peers, and leave with practical strategies you can put to work right away.

What won’t change is what you expect from RISE: timely education, meaningful networking, honest conversations, and direct access to the experts and peers shaping Medicare Advantage. It’s the same trusted RISE experience, delivered through a more focused event portfolio designed to make every event worth your time.

Why RISE National?

In 2027, the RISE Medicare Marketing & Sales Summit joins RISE National, making RISE National the only event where the entire Medicare Advantage organization comes together — on March 16-18, 2027 in Las Vegas. 

This is where the Medicare Advantage community unites to learn, connect, and lead across every function of the health plan. From risk adjustment, quality, Stars, compliance, and operations to marketing, sales, product, member experience, and strategy, you'll find dedicated education, practical case studies, and meaningful networking designed for every part of your organization.

  • New CMS bid and product design sessions, coming as the 2027 agenda takes shape
  • The same cross-functional attendees you value - the actuaries, product managers, and bid strategists now alongside the Stars, risk adjustment, and compliance teams whose work feeds the bid
  • CMS priorities and Final Rule insights that shape your bid and product strategy, straight from the experts
  • 2,000+ peers so the roundtable conversations don't end ... they get bigger
