Healthcare and sports medicine leader John A. Gallucci Jr. to deliver keynote at the New Jersey Chamber’s 2026 ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo
One of New Jersey’s most influential healthcare executives will take center stage this spring as John A. Gallucci Jr., CEO of JAG Physical Therapy, is officially confirmed as a keynote speaker for the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce’s ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo, taking place March 31 and April 1 at Harrah’s Atlantic City.
Gallucci is the first speaker announced in what organizers describe as a high-profile lineup of executives, policymakers, and industry leaders scheduled to shape the 2026 summit agenda, setting the tone for one of the state’s most closely watched gatherings of corporate decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and economic development stakeholders.
As chief executive of JAG Physical Therapy, Gallucci has overseen the rapid expansion of one of the Northeast’s fastest-growing physical and occupational therapy networks, now serving patients, professional athletes, and community partners across more than 170 locations throughout New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and surrounding markets. His leadership has positioned the organization as a regional powerhouse in rehabilitative care, injury recovery, and performance-driven therapy services for both everyday patients and elite sports programs.
The ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo has become a central platform for shaping statewide economic strategy, workforce development, healthcare innovation, and public-private collaboration. Gallucci’s keynote appearance signals the growing influence of healthcare services and sports medicine within New Jersey’s broader economic and investment landscape, especially as employers, insurers, and policymakers look to modernize care delivery models and improve access across urban, suburban, and underserved communities.
Holding advanced credentials in athletic training and physical therapy, Gallucci brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and executive leadership to the main stage. His professional background spans frontline patient care, professional and collegiate sports medicine, and enterprise-level healthcare operations, giving him a perspective that bridges both outcomes-driven treatment and large-scale organizational growth.
Summit organizers say Gallucci’s address will focus on leadership in high-growth healthcare enterprises, the role of innovation in patient-centered care, and the operational challenges facing expanding multi-state healthcare organizations. Attendees are also expected to hear insights into workforce recruitment and retention, regulatory pressures affecting outpatient healthcare providers, and the evolving role of technology in rehabilitation and injury prevention.
The announcement comes at a time when New Jersey’s healthcare and life sciences sectors are accelerating, driven by demographic shifts, increased demand for musculoskeletal care, and a rising focus on preventative and performance-based medicine. Physical and occupational therapy providers, in particular, are becoming increasingly central to post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, and long-term mobility solutions for aging populations and active workforces.
Gallucci’s selection as a keynote speaker underscores the expanding influence of private healthcare operators in shaping state-level economic conversations. Industry analysts note that outpatient care networks now represent a growing share of healthcare employment and commercial real estate development throughout New Jersey, especially in suburban and high-growth corridors.
The ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo is expected to draw hundreds of executives, founders, public officials, and investors from across the region. In addition to keynote sessions, the two-day conference will feature panel discussions on economic competitiveness, infrastructure investment, technology-driven business growth, workforce pipelines, and the future of healthcare delivery in New Jersey.
Harrah’s Atlantic City will once again host the summit, continuing the city’s role as a major destination for statewide business and policy convenings. The event is designed to foster direct engagement between private-sector leaders and public officials, offering opportunities for partnership development, strategic networking, and forward-looking policy dialogue.
With Gallucci as the first confirmed keynote, the New Jersey Chamber is signaling that healthcare leadership, organizational scale, and innovation-driven growth will play a central role in the 2026 program. Additional speakers and panelists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, building what organizers describe as an all-star lineup of voices shaping the future of New Jersey’s economy.
