2026 Mental Health Summit

2026 Mental Health Summit is organized by Business Research & Intelligence (BRI) Network and will be held from Oct 26 - 27, 2026 at JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
Behavioral health stands at an inflection point. Digital therapeutics now valued at $4.51 billion are projected to reach $24.42 billion by 2035. AI-powered therapeutic chatbots demonstrate clinically significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms. Virtual reality transforms PTSD treatment. Yet access barriers persist—affordability, stigma, workforce shortages, fragmented care pathways.

Business Research Intelligence Network’s Mental Health Summit convenes the decision-makers building tomorrow’s mental healthcare: health plan leaders designing value-based models, provider leaders implementing integrated care, technology innovators developing AI therapeutics, investors funding breakthrough solutions and policymakers shaping regulatory frameworks. Over two days, participants will examine what separates theoretical promise from clinical reality in digital mental health.

Sessions tackle implementation challenges rarely discussed in vendor presentations: therapeutic chatbot safety concerns, VR-CBT evidence gaps, reimbursement uncertainties, workforce resistance to technology adoption, equity failures in digital access and regulatory complexity around AI-enabled diagnostics. Participants will leave with frameworks for evaluating digital therapeutics rigorously, strategies for scaling collaborative care financially, approaches to youth mental health that actually reach adolescents and roadmaps for responsible AI implementation prioritizing patient safety alongside innovation.
