“I came to the Pediatric CEO Intensive last year and it elevated my new practice to another level by giving me the tools to run my practice as the CEO.
I left with so much confidence! This year not only reinforced what I learned last year, but gave me a revived excitement and actionable points that I can take back and improve my practice even more this year. The connection with other practice owners was invaluable, providing new knowledge and ideas.”

This intensive is your executive blueprint for practice leadership. It's for you if:
• You're an excellent clinician but feel underprepared for the business side of medicine
• You want to increase practice profitability without sacrificing quality of care
• You're tired of working harder but seeing diminishing financial returns
• You're considering expansion, partnership, or eventual practice sale
As one participant shared after our last intensive:
"I started working on a resume two weeks ago because I was tired of getting nowhere with my practice. This weekend totally rejuvenated me and made me realize how to tackle my problems and gave me the energy to do it."
She arrived overwhelmed by business decisions and ready to walk away from her practice and returned home with a clear strategic vision and a concrete plan.
This could be your breakthrough.

Fairhope, Alabama, is a charming coastal town with beautiful bay views and Southern hospitality. The intensive takes place at the Grand Hotel Golf Resort and Spa, providing a luxurious setting that facilitates focus and strategic thinking.
For travel, fly into Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) or Pensacola International Airport (PNS)—they are equidistant from the resort. We recommend using rideshare services or booking the hotel's shuttle service for hassle-free transportation.
Plan to arrive by Friday evening. We’ll have registration open from 4:00-5:30 PM but you can also grab your welcome packet Saturday morning before the sessions start. For your departure, if you’re joining our CEO Boost program, you should plan to depart on Tuesday morning. Otherwise, we recommend booking your return travel for Monday morning, as our programming concludes Sunday afternoon (Sunday evening for VIP ticket holders). Check-out time at the resort is 11:00 AM.
We've negotiated an exclusive group rate at the Grand Hotel Golf Resort and Spa. While accommodations aren't included in the registration fee, you'll receive a booking link after registration to secure your room at our discounted CEO rate.
• Friday, May 2: Early arrivers can pick up their registration materials starting at 4:00 PM. We'll facilitate optional small group dinners (non-hosted) in the evening, giving you a chance to connect with fellow pediatricians before the intensive begins.
• Saturday, May 3: A special collaborative day with the Women in Pediatrics Retreat! You'll have access to expanded session options focusing on both business leadership and personal well-being, giving you a well-rounded approach to practice success. This unique crossover provides additional networking opportunities and diverse perspectives while ensuring you get the practice management strategies you need. The day concludes with a vibrant bayfront celebration.
• Sunday, May 4: Our second day maintains the momentum with another optional sunrise exercise and breakfast. The full-day program continues with additional keynotes and focused breakout sessions, concluding with final thoughts and actionable takeaways. VIP ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive dinner experience in the evening.
Throughout the intensive, we've designed a balanced schedule that provides both structured learning and organic networking opportunities, ensuring you leave with practical strategies and meaningful connections.
Most pediatricians opt for casual, relaxed attire during our daytime sessions and activities. For evening events, some people enjoy elevating their look while others maintain that casual vibe—both approaches are perfect. The key is wearing whatever helps you show up as your most authentic, confident self.
Fairhope's late April/early May weather typically delivers warm, sunny days with cooler, breezy evenings. Pack a light jacket for outdoor evening gatherings (and those occasionally overzealous conference room air conditioners!). And don't forget swimwear and sunscreen if you plan to take advantage of the beautiful beach or pool.
Above all, we want you focused on connecting with your fellow visionary pediatricians and absorbing game-changing strategies—not worrying about what you're wearing. Dress for your comfort, your confidence, and your success.
We understand that practice owners have demanding schedules. Our refund policy:
• Full refund (minus $100 administrative fee) until October 29, 2025
• 50% refund until December 31, 2025
• 25% refund until February 28, 2026
• No refunds on or after March 1, 2026
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment.
This depends on your team member's role in your practice. Consider whether they have significant decision-making authority and are involved in strategic planning. The intensive content is designed for those who influence your practice's direction and will be implementing high-level strategies. While C-suite executives and senior administrators typically benefit greatly, operational staff may find the material less applicable unless they're actively involved in practice leadership. Think about which team members would be most instrumental in helping execute the vision and strategies you'll develop during the intensive—these individuals would gain the most value from attending alongside you.
Pediatric CEO Intensive is an in-person event designed to foster connections and strategy. We’d love for you to join us live!

“This is my 2nd year at Pediatric CEO Intensive and it has given me so many transformational tips and action items to continue growing and strengthening my practice.
Not only the lectures but the conversations with other colleagues have been extremely helpful. It is a must for CEOs for pediatric practices and I will be back next year for sure!”
