Pinnacle Conference

What Pinnacle Conference does

Pinnacle Conference, operating under the trade name Learn at Pinnacle, is a privately-held, all-female, physician-founded continuing medical education (CME) company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2018 by Drs. Natalie Crawford, Pamela Mehta, and Rupa Wong, the company delivers jointly accredited CE/CME to physicians and healthcare professionals across more than ten disciplines through multi-format content — including conferences, courses, podcasts, films, books, webinars, workshops, and coaching — designed to address perceived gaps in legacy CME such as rigid formats and outdated delivery.

The product portfolio consists of four core lines: Pinnacle Accreditation (turnkey CME accreditation services handling ACCME compliance and certificate delivery for partner organizations), Pinnacle Education (the Learn at Pinnacle mobile app on iOS and Android offering on-demand learning with CE tracking and in-app certificate storage), Pinnacle Conference (an annual in-person event, with the 2027 edition scheduled April 30 – May 2 at the Four Seasons Austin), and the Pinnacle Podcast Network (six healthcare podcasts including "As a Woman," "In Focus," and "The Resilience Factor"). The technology platform combines a web-based course management and registration layer (hosted on Squarespace) with native mobile apps and standard podcast distribution channels.

Pinnacle generates revenue through four streams: one-time conference registration fees, recurring mobile app subscriptions, professional services fees for partner accreditation, and tiered ticketing ($395–$895) for partner-organized accredited events such as the Livelong Women's Health Summit. Distribution combines self-serve channels (website, app stores) targeting individual healthcare professionals with a B2B2C channel serving 300+ partner organizations including Becker's Healthcare, Women in Medicine, LeadHer Summit, and Livelong Media. The company operates with 1–10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and full retention of ownership by the three physician founders.

Directly comparable to Pinnacle's women-physician conference positioning, with overlapping audience but operating as a nonprofit association rather than a commercial CME provider.
