2026 Michael E. Porter Lectureship

ICHOM is pleased to announce the opening of its nomination for the 2026 Michael E. Porter Lectureship. In addition, we are delighted to announce the addition of a new professional recognition award for 2026: the ICHOM Rising Star Award.

The Michael E. Porter Lectureship recognizes a distinguished leader whose work has significantly advanced value-based healthcare globally. The recipient is invited to deliver a keynote lecture at the ICHOM 2026 Conference in Montreal on December 9, 2026, sharing insights, innovations, and lessons learned to inspire the international VBHC community.

This Rising Star Award will recognize an emerging leader in the value-based healthcare (VBHC) community who is making a meaningful positive impact while still at an earlier stage of their career contribution to the VBHC field. The recipient will be announced and awarded on stage at the ICHOM 2026 Conference in Montreal on December 9, 2026.

Nominations for both awards will open 8 May, with submissions accepted until 5 pm EDT, June 18, 2026. Nominations may be self-submitted or on behalf of a peer. To support a fair and thorough review by the selection committee, please share as much relevant information as possible.

Questions may be submitted to events@ichom.org

Note: Prior nominees are requested to submit new nominations for 2026 with the introduction of two awards
