MALIBU, Calif., April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pepperdine Graziadio Business School will host the 10th Annual Future of Healthcare Symposium on Thursday, April 24, 2025, from 10:30 AM - 3 PM PT, at its Malibu campus. This year's theme, "Investing in Health: Financing the Future of Healthcare through Innovation, Investment, and Impact," will bring together industry leaders to discuss healthcare finance, investment strategies, and disruptive technologies.

Following the fireside chat, a panel discussion, "Winning Strategies in Healthcare: Innovations and Investments Driving Change," will explore how leading companies are improving care delivery, reducing costs, and driving innovation through strategic investment.

Panelists include:

• Justin Blackhall, Finance Counsel at American Lending Center; Founding Member and Partner at Blackhall, P.C.
• Michael Muntner, Partner, Centerview Partners

A Career Networking Fair (10:30 AM – 12:00 PM PT) will allow students and alumni to connect with leading healthcare organizations. A portion of the event's proceeds will support scholarships for the Healthcare Management Specialization program at Pepperdine Graziadio.
