About This Show
AI-drafted summaryViVE — The Business of Healthcare is a premier, curated event for digital health decision-makers focused on the intersection of healthcare and technology. Co-created by HLTH and CHIME, the event unites health system and payer leaders with the innovators, investors, and solution partners driving digital transformation across the industry. ViVE 2027 takes place March 14–17, 2027, at Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
The event is built specifically around the digital transformation of health systems, drawing senior leaders including CIOs, CTOs, CMIOs, CDOs, and CNIOs, alongside payer executives, health IT security and compliance leaders, informaticists, digital health startups, investors, and government and policy professionals. Unlike broader industry gatherings, ViVE's agenda, matchmaking programs, and audience center on the technology leaders and vendors solving interoperability, cybersecurity, AI adoption, and operational efficiency challenges inside health systems and payer organizations.
Attendees come to accelerate strategy, evaluate technology, and collaborate on what works. Through curated 1:1 matchmaking, focused programming, and a buzzing show floor, ViVE compresses what would otherwise take months of relationship-building and market research into just a few days — making it a high-value destination for anyone shaping healthcare's digital future.
