Why Attend

Why should I attend ViVE?

ViVE is HLTH Inc.’s premier, curated event for digital health decision-makers focused on the business of healthcare. It brings together health system CIOs, CDOs, CMIOs, and other digital health executives with the technology partners, payers, investors, and policymakers driving the industry’s digital transformation. ViVE 2027 takes place March 14-17 at Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

What makes ViVE different from other health IT events?

ViVE is built specifically around the digital transformation of health systems, rather than covering the entire healthcare ecosystem. The agenda, matchmaking programs, and audience are centered on the technology leaders and vendors solving interoperability, cybersecurity, AI adoption, and operational efficiency challenges inside health systems and payer organizations.

What are the benefits of attending ViVE?

Your pass includes access to sessions across every major digital health focus area, curated 1:1 matchmaking through Provider & Payer Connect and Investor Connect, daily meal functions, evening events including the Industry Night private concert, the show floor, and on-demand access to all session recordings through the digital event platform.

How do I justify attending ViVE to my manager?

Frame it around outcomes: structured 1:1 meetings with health system and payer leaders through Provider & Payer Connect, direct access to the solution providers shaping digital health strategy, and intelligence on interoperability, AI adoption, and cybersecurity that would otherwise take months to gather. Plus, group rates are available for five or more attendees. Just contact info@viveevent.com for details.
