About This Event
HIMSS27, the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, runs 5-8 April 2027 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, moving from the Venetian Convention & Expo Center in Las Vegas where HIMSS26 was held. Monday 5 April is a preconference day of forums - AI and healthcare cybersecurity among them - with the main conference and exhibition running Tuesday to Thursday. HIMSS expects over 24,000 attendees and runs more than 600 sessions covering AI, cybersecurity, digital health transformation, interoperability, data governance, health equity, workforce challenges and process redesign, alongside an Executive Summit, a Hosted Buyer Program and specialty pavilions. The 2026 edition set the agenda 2027 inherits: AI agents taking on back-office work such as claims processing and scheduling, identity management for non-human actors, adaptive rather than static AI governance, and data liquidity as the precondition for any of it.

Why Attend
For a health-system CIO this is the one week where the vendors, the federal officials and peer institutions are in the same building, and the 2026 edition made plain what the room now expects: outcomes data from named health systems rather than roadmaps. Come with a shortlist and use the Hosted Buyer Program to make the meetings efficient. The preconference AI and cybersecurity forums are the concentrated day, and the governance thread is the one to follow - Mass General Brigham's Jane Moran put it bluntly at HIMSS26 that static governance is not an option when the tools evolve underneath you.
