About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe AMIA Annual Symposium is the flagship meeting of the American Medical Informatics Association and is billed as the world's premier scientific gathering for biomedical and health informatics. The event brings the informatics community together for five days fully dedicated to biomedical and health informatics, where peer-reviewed research, the field's leading minds, and thousands of informaticians come together each year across medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, research, and industry.
The 2026 edition takes place November 7-11 in Dallas, TX. This year's theme, Harnessing Informatics to Accelerate Learning Health Systems, explores how informatics can help create health systems that adapt, improve, and get smarter in real time, all in pursuit of better patient outcomes, with topics spanning ambient AI, clinical decision support, real-world evidence, implementation science, and governance.
The Symposium is intended for a broad, interdisciplinary audience. Attendees include clinical and health informatics professionals — physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and other clinicians — as well as translational and clinical informatics scientists, researchers, and educators. Whether presenting a first poster or shaping the field's future, attendees gain access to cutting-edge research, career-building relationships, and the full academic, clinical, research, industry, and public-sector informatics community.
