About This Show
AI-drafted summaryHLTH USA — full name "HLTH: The Future of Healthcare" — is one of the world's largest healthcare innovation events, bringing together the entire industry ecosystem under one roof in Las Vegas. The event convenes senior leaders from health systems and hospitals, payers and insurers, pharma and life sciences, employers, government and policy, investors, digital health startups, and practicing nurses and physicians. Its focus spans AI and emerging technology, care delivery, health policy, investment strategy, diagnostics, women's health, and more.
Attendees come to make deals, source solutions, and track where healthcare is heading. The format is closer to a flagship tech conference than a traditional trade show: main-stage keynotes and parallel track sessions sit directly on a 950+ exhibitor show floor, alongside curated 1:1 matchmaking, pitch competitions, awards, an art gallery, wellness activities, and nightly receptions.
HLTH is worth attending for the density of senior decision-makers — 4,400+ C-suite executives in 2025 — and its structured networking programs that compress months of business development into four days. Whether you are a buyer evaluating technologies, a founder seeking investors, or a clinician tracking innovation, HLTH USA offers concentrated access to the people shaping the future of healthcare.
Show Highlights
AI as the central theme: HLTH USA 2026 is themed around "The Age of Intelligent Healthcare," with a dedicated AI Zone on the show floor and AI programming across diagnostics, care delivery, drug development, and patient engagement.
Featured focus areas on the show floor: AI & Emerging Technology, Diagnostics, Pharma & Life Sciences, Women's Health, Employer & Workforce Health, Oral & Systemic Health, a Nurse Innovators Pavilion, and a Startup Zone.
Signature programs: Market Connect (double opt-in 1:1 buyer/solution-provider meetings), Investor Connect (curated founder-investor meetings), Startup Pitch Competitions, the Digital Health Hub Awards, the Techquity for Health Awards, The Shift women's health series, and Specialty Summits.

History
HLTH was founded in 2018 by serial entrepreneur and investor Jonathan Weiner, who also co-founded the Money20/20 and Shoptalk events. The inaugural HLTH launched in May 2018 at the ARIA in Las Vegas and sold out with roughly 3,500 attendees, more than 700 CEOs, and hundreds of sponsors and investors — described at the time as one of the largest healthcare event launches to date. In 2019 the show moved from spring to the fall to establish itself as the industry's definitive year-end touchpoint.
HLTH Inc. has since grown into a portfolio that also includes HLTH Europe and ViVE, plus HLTH Digital. In 2025, HLTH Inc. was acquired by the Hyve Group. The flagship U.S. event now draws more than 12,000 attendees annually and is a fixture on the Las Vegas Strip.
