Where Europe’s healthcare leaders meet to understand what works, what scales and what comes next.
Healthcare transformation is no longer a future discussion. Across hospitals, primary care, home care and healthcare systems, organisations are already making strategic decisions about AI, workforce transformation, interoperability, hybrid care and digital infrastructure.
The ICT&health World Conference brings together healthcare leaders, clinicians, policymakers, researchers, technology innovators and care teams from across Europe and beyond to explore how these developments are implemented in practice.
With more than 10,000 participants and a community in which over seventy percent work directly in healthcare, the conference offers a unique environment where policy, practice, technology and leadership come together around real implementation challenges.
Solutions are demonstrated, strategic choices are discussed and collaborations take shape. The focus is not on promises or innovation theatre, but on practical implementation, scaling and measurable impact. From behavioural change and nursing innovation to AI, data availability and international healthcare collaboration, the conference connects the people and organisations shaping the future of healthcare.
If you want to understand where healthcare is heading, this is where the conversation happens.

Three days full of innovation in healthcare
The programme of the ICT&health World Conference 2027 is carefully designed around the central question facing healthcare today: what works, what scales, and which decisions truly make the difference?
Over three days, international keynotes, in-depth sessions, strategic workshops and live demonstrations are brought together in a format that connects policy, practice and technology. Not isolated presentations, but coherent programme tracks in which implementation is the guiding principle.
In 2027, the programme will provide additional depth in areas such as the international AI track, the European data agenda and the European Health Data Space, cultural change and leadership, nursing innovation and the established Nurse Track, hybrid care models, governance and sustainable financing. Dedicated sessions will address the specific perspectives of board members, healthcare professionals, IT leaders, technology partners and public authorities.
Live podcast recordings will also be integrated into the programme, offering space for speakers and experts to deepen and contextualise the dialogue.
The full programme will be announced in the coming months. What is already clear is that substance, practical relevance and measurable impact will lead the agenda.
