Spring Break 2027, But Make it DPC – Hint Summit is coming to Scottsdale
Direct Primary Care continues to gain momentum, but building a thriving practice and moving the broader healthcare system forward takes more than momentum. It takes a strong community, practical knowledge, new ideas, and opportunities to learn from the people doing the work.
That’s the idea behind Hint Summit 2027: The Oasis Effect: Where Direct Care Thrives, taking place April 7–10, 2027, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Now in its 11th year, Hint Summit brings together clinicians, employers, benefits advisors, healthcare leaders, and innovators from across the direct care ecosystem to learn from one another, make meaningful connections, and help shape what comes next for DPC.
Creating the conditions for DPC to thrive
An oasis is more than a place to stop. It’s an environment where the right resources come together to sustain growth.
That idea is at the heart of this year’s theme. Across the country, DPC practices are demonstrating a different way to deliver primary care, one centered on stronger patient relationships, better access, and a more sustainable model for clinicians. As the movement grows, so does the ecosystem around it.
Hint Summit ’27 will explore what happens when those pieces come together: experienced clinicians sharing what works, new practices learning from those who have gone before them, employers and advisors exploring DPC as a healthcare benefit, and technology and service partners helping practices operate and grow.
The goal is for attendees to leave Scottsdale with more than inspiration. Summit programming will focus on actionable strategies, real-world lessons, and data-driven insights that attendees can take back to their practices and organizations.
A Summit experience built around community
Hint Summit ’27 begins Wednesday, April 7, with a welcome reception at Hotel Solaya, giving attendees a chance to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones before programming begins.
From there, the community heads to Scottsdale Stadium for the main conference on Thursday and Friday. The stadium setting will give this year’s Summit a distinctly Scottsdale feel, pairing two packed days of content with plenty of opportunities to connect outside the traditional conference room.
For practice owners who want to go even deeper, the week concludes on Saturday, April 10, with the second annual Growth Bootcamp. The half-day intensive is designed for clinicians and operators ready to turn ideas into action and focus specifically on growing stronger, more sustainable direct care practices.
An opportunity to recharge and look ahead
Running an independent practice can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating. Hint Summit offers something increasingly important as DPC expands: a place for the people moving the model forward to come together.
It’s a chance to step outside the day-to-day demands of running a practice, learn from what’s working elsewhere, challenge old assumptions, and return home with fresh ideas and renewed energy.
That’s the Oasis Effect: creating the conditions for clinicians, practices, partnerships, and ideas to thrive together.
Come recharge, reconnect, and get inspired alongside the people shaping the future of direct care. Early Bird tickets for Hint Summit 2027 are available now through October 31, so lock in your spot and join the DPC community in Scottsdale, April 7–10.
