The CEO Council is invite only. Each CEO Council Retreat is made up of a strategically curated group of health system leaders.

There is no registration fee associated with this event. Cedar will cover the cost of the conference, meals, activities, lodging, and ground transportation for invited attendees.

Yes, and we highly recommend doing so. Spouses are welcome to join for receptions, dinners and all social events, including the curated activities scheduled on Day 2.

The conference begins on the afternoon of Monday, February 26. Guests are welcome to arrive early or stay late to take advantage of all the resort has to offer. Cedar can assist with securing discounted rates at the conference hotel, but the costs for additional nights will be the responsibility of the attendee. If you’d like to stay extra days we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so that we can ensure availability.

For those flying, we recommend flying into Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), which is approximately 45 minutes away from the resort. Cedar will arrange for ground transportation to and from the resort and we will work with you to set that up once your flights are booked. For those that choose to drive, Cedar will cover your valet parking fees.

All of our guests will stay in one of the resort’s cottages. Each cottage has a king bed, conversation area in front of a fireplace, a bathroom with both a steam shower and a soaking tub, and a screened-in porch.

The Montage Palmetto Bluff is located on 20,000 acres of land and 32-miles of waterfront, so there is lots to explore! Hotel guests have access to bikes, tennis courts, bocce courts, kayaks, canoes, just to name a few options. Additionally, located at the resort is the 18-hole, Jack Nicklaus-designed, May River Golf Course. On Day 2 we will have a list of curated activities that attendees and their guests can choose from. Activity selections include a guided tour of a nature preserve, a boat tour, clay shooting, and more.

February in coastal South Carolina is typically dry, with highs in the high 60s/low 70s and low temperatures in the high 40s.

There is no formal dress code, however we recommend resort casual/business casual for sessions and meals. Our Tuesday night dinner will take place outside (weather permitting), so we recommend bringing some warm layers, and depending on what activities you plan to participate in you may want to bring attire specific to those activities. Please note the resort is a large property and some of our activities and meals take place in different buildings so we recommend bringing shoes you are comfortable walking in.

The Cedar CEO Council is fully off-the-record, so we will not broadcast or publish the conversations. The event is designed to be highly interactive and conversational, and as such we only offer in-person experience for attendees.
