About this event
If you’re coming out of HIMSS26 with a head full of ideas and a long list of people you meant to spend more time with, this dinner is the right next stop. HIMSS26 Wrap Dinner with AgeTech Connect is a chance to slow the pace, share a meal, and have the kind of honest, useful conversations that are hard to fit in between sessions, expo meetings, and packed schedules. About the Event This is an in-person community dinner in Las Vegas for people who care about the future of health, aging, care delivery, and the relationships that make meaningful work possible. Rather than another formal session or crowded reception, the evening is built around relaxed connection after a busy conference day. AgeTech Connect is bringing people together around a simple format: dinner, conversation, and community. Whether you spent the week deep in digital health, clinical operations, innovation, startups, partnerships, policy, or aging-focused work, this is a place to compare notes and talk about what actually stood out at HIMSS26. The purpose is straightforward: create room for better conversations than the conference floor usually allows. It’s an opportunity to reflect on what you saw, meet peers in a more personal setting, and leave Las Vegas with stronger relationships instead of just more business cards. What to Expect Expect a social, dinner-table format with natural networking throughout the evening. This is not positioned as a stage-driven program; the value comes from being in the room with people who are actively thinking about healthcare transformation, aging, and how technology can support better outcomes and better experiences. Conversations will likely center on themes people are already carrying out of HIMSS26, including: What trends felt real versus overhyped Where aging and healthcare innovation are gaining traction How organizations are approaching adoption, implementation, and scale What partnerships, business models, and care approaches seem most promising What leaders, builders, and operators are prioritizing next You can also expect a different rhythm from conference networking. Instead of quick intros and rushed follow-ups, dinner creates space for longer exchanges, more context, and more thoughtful questions. That makes it easier to talk about current work, compare challenges, and discover shared interests. For some attendees, the night will be about reconnecting with familiar faces from the week. For others, it will be about meeting new people in a setting that feels approachable and easy to navigate. Both are part of the point. Why Attend A strong conference can generate momentum, but the best takeaways often get clearer after the sessions end. This dinner gives you a place to process what you learned with others who are working in adjacent spaces and asking similarly practical questions. You should attend if you want your HIMSS26 experience to end with depth rather than noise. A meal creates a better environment for candid discussion: what impressed people, what raised skepticism, where opportunities may be opening up, and what everyone is still trying to figure out. There is also real value in meeting people outside the speed and formality of scheduled conference meetings. Over dinner, it’s easier to understand what someone actually works on, what they are building toward, and where there may be room to collaborate. By the end of the evening, you can expect to leave with: A clearer sense of how others are interpreting key HIMSS26 themes New connections across healthcare, aging, and innovation communities Better follow-up conversations than a brief hallway introduction usually allows A more grounded close to the week before everyone heads home Practical Details This event takes place in person in Las Vegas, USA on Thursday, March 12 at 7:00 PM PDT. The timing makes it a natural end-of-day gathering after the conference schedule has wound down, giving attendees a dedicated moment to shift from packed agendas into real conversation. Because this is a dinner-centered meetup, plan for a more relaxed and social environment than a typical conference event. You do not need to prepare for presentations or formal participation; coming ready to introduce yourself, talk about what you took from HIMSS26, and engage generously with others is enough. This event is a good fit whether you are local to the ecosystem or in town specifically for the conference. If your week at HIMSS26 has been all motion, this is the place to pause, connect, and end the day with people who care about where healthcare and aging innovation go next. If you’ve been looking for a more thoughtful way to wrap the conference than one more crowded reception, this dinner delivers exactly that: a shared table, a relevant community, and better conversations at the moment when they matter most.
