Why Attend
For a health system CIO, payer executive or pharma digital leader, the draw is the meeting programme rather than the stages: 8,500-plus scheduled one-to-ones and a 950-exhibitor floor compress a year of vendor evaluation into four days, and Market Connect will pay a qualified buyer's way in exchange for taking twelve of them. The AI Zone and the AI & Emerging Technology content give a grounded read on which clinical and administrative AI is actually in production versus still in pilot, and the Investor Connect and pitch programmes show where the capital is moving next. Startups and clinicians pay $1,500; solution providers pay $3,295.

What Makes This Unique
- ★Seniority over volume: 4,400-plus C-suite executives inside a 12,250-person event, which is why the meeting programme rather than the stage is the reason most buyers attend
- ★Market Connect gives qualified senior buyers a free pass (normally $3,395) plus a $750 travel credit for completing 12 or more vendor meetings
- ★A dedicated AI Zone with its own two-day programme, separate from the main stages
- ★Five parallel Insights Programs segmented by constituency — Patient, Pharma, Employer, Payer, and Nurses & Clinicians
- ★Explicitly an industry and innovation event rather than a clinical-education conference, so there is no CME-style curriculum
- ★Startup pricing is capped at $1,500 for companies under four years old that have raised less than $8M, keeping early-stage founders in the room
