THE AGENDA: TWO TRACKS + A BONUS CONVERGENCE TRACK
Every session is curated for outcomes: real deployments, measurable ROI, and lessons from clinical settings. No hype.
AI TRACK: Applied AI in Care Delivery
Clinical Decision Support: AI-assisted diagnosis and documentation acceleration that clinicians actually adopt
AI Triage & Patient Routing: Intelligent routing and capacity optimization across the care continuum
Medical Imaging AI: Detection, segmentation, and prioritization in production radiology workflows
Care Coordination Agents: AI agents for follow-up, patient engagement, and care team handoffs
Governance & Compliance: Privacy, model validation, and healthcare compliance readiness for AI deployment
XR TRACK: Immersive Tech in Clinical Practice
Clinical Training & Simulation: VR simulation for ER, OR, ICU, nursing, and EMS teams: faster time-to-competency, measurable skill certification
AR-Assisted Procedures: Surgical planning, visualization, and AR guidance in the procedural suite
Patient Education & Therapeutic VR: Pain and anxiety management, patient engagement, and therapeutic applications
Triage & EMS Workflows: Remote assistance and immersive tools for care teams under pressure
Hospital Digital Twins: Spatial modeling for patient flow, safety, staff training, and facility planning
THE CONVERGENCE TRACK: The Intelligent Care Continuum
Where AI makes clinical decisions smarter, and XR makes them visible, trainable, and actionable. Featured sessions:
Where AI Meets the Headset: the convergence case for healthcare
Simulation That Learns: AI-driven adaptive clinical training
From Imaging to Intervention: AI + AR in the procedural suite
The Intelligent Triage Floor: AI routes the patient, XR equips the care team
Digital Twin Hospitals: AI as the brain, XR as the interface
Governing the Convergence: compliance and trust frameworks for systems where AI recommends and XR delivers
Full agenda releases 2 weeks before the event. Speaker announcements begin August 15.
Healthcare Edition Speakers Batch 1 - Announcing August 15.
From our last Enterprise Edition event in April 2026
Built on 6 years and 10,000+ attendees across global events. Reimagined in 2026 as a focused, vertically-driven series for enterprise practitioners.
IGS Editions include: Enterprise, Education, Healthcare, Media & Entertainment, and are produced by the VR/AR Association and Applied AI Association.
WHO ATTENDS:
IGS Healthcare Edition brings together the people actually building, buying, and deploying AI and XR in clinical settings, not passive observers.
Health system and clinical leaders
VP and Director-level leaders in digital health, clinical innovation, and health IT, evaluating what's ready to deploy now
Clinical education and simulation executives
Nursing, EMS, and physician training leaders building the next generation of simulation-based education
Health IT and compliance decision-makers
CMIOs, CIOs, and compliance leads navigating AI governance, model validation, and healthcare data privacy
Healthcare XR and AI solution providers
Platforms, device makers, and service companies building clinical training, AR-assisted procedure, medical imaging, and care coordination tools
Medtech and digital health founders
Startups building the next wave of clinical AI and immersive health technology
Investors and strategic partners
Venture and strategic capital actively deploying into health technology
A curated audience, not a crowd. Capacity is set at ~200 attendees, by design, so every conversation on the floor is with someone worth having it with.
Audience Mix:
40–50% End Customers / Buyers — health systems, hospitals, and clinical organizations
40–50% Solution Providers — XR and AI platforms, devices, and services
10% Investors, Media & Ecosystem Partners

WHY ATTEND:
Healthcare's AI and XR transformation is no longer a pilot program. It's in production.
Health systems are deploying clinical simulation, AI-assisted imaging, intelligent triage, and care coordination agents at scale, right now, not in five years. The organizations that move first are setting the standard for how care gets delivered, trained, and managed across the industry. The gap between early movers and late adopters is widening fast, and the leaders who align now, with the right peers, proven tools, and real deployment data, will define how their health systems operate for the next decade.
This is not a conference about what's possible. It's about what's working.
You'll leave with:
Deployment-ready case studies from health systems and medtech companies already running AI and XR in clinical environments, not theoretical use cases
Direct access to the vendors, platforms, and hardware providers powering clinical training, AR-assisted procedures, and AI triage today
A realistic view of healthcare AI and XR governance, compliance, and model validation from practitioners actually navigating it
Curated introductions to VP and Director-level peers solving the same deployment, procurement, and adoption challenges you are
A two-day working session, not a trade show. Every panel and breakout is built around outcomes, not vendor pitches
If you're evaluating a clinical simulation platform, building the business case for AI triage, or trying to separate real deployments from vaporware, this is where those conversations are happening.
