THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2026 | 5 PM - 8 PM | Ocean Place Resort & Spa, Long Branch

Join us as we celebrate New Jersey’s healthcare heroes at a relaxed beachfront bash — no suits, no heels, just an unforgettable evening with C-suite executives and leaders from across NJHA’s 400 member organizations.

There’s no better setting to mix, mingle and make meaningful connections. Enjoy incredible food, signature cocktails, live entertainment, an after party and a spectacular oceanfront backdrop that makes this event stand out from anything else on the calendar.

Our sponsorship opportunities are designed to give you exceptional visibility, access and conversation — along with the most fun you’ll have at “work” all year.

Take a look at the opportunities and reach out to NJHA’s Rachael Morrone at rmorrone@njha.com or Kerry McKean Kelly at kmckean@njha.com to learn more. We can’t wait to see you on the beach!
