Digital may dominate daily interactions, but in-person connections still drive the biggest impact – especially in the healthcare sector.
According to a survey by Onyx Health, 70% of healthcare professionals prefer in-person events over virtual ones, citing better networking, engaging content, and the opportunity for meaningful conversations. The HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition exemplifies this impact, offering exhibitors a unique platform to forge meaningful connections, showcase innovations, and drive business growth.
"We chose to exhibit at HIMSS25 because it is a great opportunity for us to meet a lot of our customers all in one place over a three-day span. I don't think there's any other opportunity throughout the year to meet this many customers in such a short time period. Sometimes it's the only time we get to meet with them all year." - Jay Long, Imprivata
