To address Europe’s most pressing healthcare challenges, Europe's longest-running, most influential digital health conference returns in 2024, bringing together innovators to shape tomorrow’s healthcare.

The HIMSS24 European Health Conference & Exhibition will occur from 29-31 May at the Centro Congressi Roma La Nuvola in Rome, Italy.

HIMSS24 Europe will feature programming focused on major global health challenges. Experts will lead discussions on how Europe uses data analytics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other cutting-edge technologies to address universal issues like health equity, patient privacy, access to care, workforce burnout, staffing shortages, and climate change.
