< + > A Healthcare IT Leader Preview of ViVE 2026

As those who read Healthcare IT Today regularly know, we attend a lot of healthcare IT conferences throughout the year.  One of the newest conferences we attend that has grown to be one of the most influential is the ViVE conference that is co-organized by HLTH and CHIME.  As ViVE is just around the corner, we thought it would be valuable for healthcare IT leaders that are attending or still considering whether they should attend to get a preview of the event from the organizers.

In our interview below, we sat down with Alifya Parekh, Senior Content Manager and Leah Callahan, Senior Content Manager at HLTH.  We kick off our discussion by asking them what the business case is for a CIO or healthcare IT leader at a hospital or health sysetm to attend ViVE 2026 happening Feb 22-25, 2026 in LA.

I then ask them what are some of the coverage areas and content areas that people should know about at the event.  Along with their answer below, you can also browse some of the key focus areas of the conference: AI, Cybersecurity, Diagnostics, Interoperability, Nurses, and Doctors.  As you can see, there’s a lot going on at the conference, so we ask Callahan to share some ideas on how healthcare IT leaders can navigate all the various content, sessions, networking, and more that’s available at the conference.

I know that many hospitals and health systems are dealing with some budget challenges right now.  That’s why it’s great that ViVE also does Provider and Payer Connect where leaders at provider organizations and payers that want attend ViVE and participate in their networking opportunities receive a complimentary ticket to ViVE along with a number of other perks.  Plus, if you do 12 Provider and Payer Connect meetings you can get a $750 travel stipend along with the free registration.  For members of CHIME, there’s also a ViVE Ambassador program where you can bring your team to the conference.

We also talk with Parekh and Callahan about some of the networking opportunities at ViVE.  No doubt you’ll find us at many of these networking opportunities along with finding us throughout the show and covering the event at the media village.
