Healthcare transformation will take center stage in Copenhagen, Denmark, when the HIMSS26 European Health Conference & Exhibition brings together leaders, innovators, policymakers, providers, and technology partners from across Europe. Taking place May 19–21, 2026, the event is focused on the real-world strategies health systems need to improve outcomes, strengthen resilience, manage costs, and accelerate digital maturity. HIMSS describes the event as a forum for “smarter, more resilient, more efficient healthcare,” with a focus on practical transformation through technology, data, and collaboration.
According to HIMSS, this year’s European conference will spotlight some of the biggest issues shaping healthcare right now, including AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and digital maturity. The program is designed to move beyond theory and into action, giving attendees practical insights they can bring back to their organizations. HIMSS also highlights opportunities to explore innovations, hear from global experts, make new connections, and gain actionable insights.
HIMSS is also framing Copenhagen as a place to explore new technologies, hear from global experts, build meaningful connections, and leave with actionable ideas for more connected, efficient, and patient-centered care. The event also offers onsite options for CPHIMS or CPDHTS certification during registration.
For CHUG members and the wider digital health community, this is the kind of event that offers a strong mix of strategy, networking, and exposure to emerging solutions across the European healthcare ecosystem.
