About Circulate 2026
The summit for leaders shaping the future of heart health.
Circulate 2026 brings together Hello Heart’s clients and partners for two days focused on tackling the #1 threat to members’ health: heart disease.
We’ll dig into what’s working in preventive heart health today, from new innovations to tried-and-true engagement strategies, and exchange ideas through executive panels and small-group breakouts.
You’ll leave with practical insights you can put to work immediately, and strong relationships with leaders navigating the same pressures and priorities.
Keynote Speaker
Randi Braun  |  WSJ Bestselling Author & Leadership Coach
Workshop: Redefining Productivity for Leaders
Thursday, June 4 | 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM
In this interactive workshop, Randi Braun will challenge you to redefine productivity and focus on the work that matters most.
Together, we’ll explore:
  1. How high performers get pulled into reactive work—and how to break the cycle
  2. The difference between “performative” productivity and truly impactful work
  3. Practical strategies to prioritize effectively and deliver meaningful results
This session will help you rethink how you prioritize work, lead teams, and drive value for your organization.
