HIMSS25 to Showcase Tech Breakthroughs Shaping the Future of Care

The 2025 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition is set to redefine the landscape of healthcare technology, with cutting-edge digital health solutions and immersive experiences in AI, interoperability and smart health. 

Registration is open for HIMSS25, taking place March 3-6 in Las Vegas. The annual global conference is the epicenter of healthcare innovation where a vibrant community of experts and professionals will transform healthcare, get ahead of industry trends and connect with like-minded peers. 

At the HIMSS25 opening keynote, Dr. Seung-woo Park, President of Samsung Medical Center, will explore the critical role of digital health transformation in enhancing patient care, with an emphasis on the integration of EMRs and the development of next-generation systems. Hal Wolf, President and CEO of HIMSS, will continue the conversation in a fireside chat with both Dr. Park and Dr. Meong Hi Son, Chief Medical Information Officer of Samsung Medical Center, as they share insights and aspirations for the future of healthcare. 

Retired four-star Army General Paul M. Nakasone, the longest-serving leader of the U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency/Central Security Service, will share battle-tested lessons during the Wednesday keynote session on transformational leadership while also examining the challenges and opportunities organizations face in the ever-evolving tech and security landscape. 

In a Views from the Top session, Edward Marx, bestselling author and healthcare leader, will moderate a panel of experts from the payer world detailing how technology can drive a future beyond fee-for-service. The panelists will explore value-based care models, digital health transformation, data analytics, patient-centric approaches and other trends and strategies that are reshaping the payer landscape. 

In a hype-busting Views from the Top session, AI transformation advisor Tom Lawry will define five factors every health leader should practice to de-risk AI investments and improve performance across an enterprise. This session builds on the premise that, done right, AI is not about technology but empowerment.
