Find Your Fit: Which HIMSS27 Pass Should You Choose?

What’s Bringing You to HIMSS27?

Find the pass that fits your plans.

Whether you’re coming to HIMSS27 to see technology in action before making your next investment, learn how others are tackling industry challenges, or reconnect with colleagues across healthcare – your pass should give you the access to the experiences that brought you here. 

Here’s how the options compare, information on add-on’s, and when to register for maximum savings.

Start with what you want to do

Your plans
Pass to consider
What’s included

Combine education with time on the exhibit floor 

Conference Pass 

General education sessions, keynotes, exhibit hall access and the opening reception 

Add a focused day of learning 

Conference Plus Pass 

Conference Pass access, plus your choice of an included preconference forum 

Connect with fellow provider leaders 

Executive Plus Pass 

Conference access, the Executive Summit and exclusive VIP events, for qualified providers 

Focus on technology and solution providers 

Exhibit Hall Only Pass

Exhibit hall access, keynotes and the opening reception; general education sessions are excluded 

Attend a Monday forum 

Preconference Only Pass 

Preconference forum access and the opening reception; conference education and exhibit hall access are excluded 

Not sure where to start? Consider the Conference Pass if you want to move between education and the exhibit floor without choosing just one. It gives you room to build a varied schedule around the topics and technologies that interest you. 

Planning to arrive Monday? Compare Conference Plus

Before booking your trip, take a look at the preconference forums. A dedicated day on one topic may be worth adding to your plans. 

The Conference Plus Pass includes your choice of an eligible forum. Select it during registration; access is limited to the forum you choose, and forums may sell out. 

Check the exceptions: The Native American & Indigenous Health Symposium and Public Health Data Modernization Forum require separate paid add-ons and are not included in Conference Plus. Executive Plus also does not include preconference forums. 

Choose your access, then check your rate

Your pass determines what you can attend. Your registration category determines the applicable price, including options for HIMSS members, nonmembers, government attendees and market suppliers. 

Eligible students can also explore the Student Pass. Review the registration FAQs for qualification requirements before selecting that option. 

Register early for a lower rate

Once you’ve found your pass, booking earlier can help your budget go further.

Early bird pricing: Available now, before advance pricing begins.
Advance pricing: Begins Dec. 21, 2026.

Registration rate dates are subject to change. Check the registration page for current pricing and dates before booking.
