CHIME 2026
Overview
The highest concentration of healthcare CIOs and C-level IT leaders at any US conference. 85%+ purchasing authority among attendees -- every conversation is with a decision-maker. Intimate format (1,100 attendees) means meaningful interactions rather than badge-scanning. If you sell to health system IT leadership, CHIME is the most efficient show in the country.

Audience
Exclusively C-level digital health leaders -- CIOs, CMIOs, CNIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and chief innovation officers from health systems. ~1,100 attendees including sponsors. CHIME is an executive membership organization, so the audience is pre-qualified senior decision-makers, not general IT staff. The Fall Forum is CHIME's flagship event. CHIME also co-produces ViVE (with HLTH) which is larger but less executive-focused.

Our Take
Why Exhibit
The highest concentration of healthcare CIOs and C-level IT leaders at any US conference. 85%+ purchasing authority among attendees -- every conversation is with a decision-maker. Intimate format (1,100 attendees) means meaningful interactions rather than badge-scanning. If you sell to health system IT leadership, CHIME is the most efficient show in the country.
Why Skip
Small attendee count (1,100) limits total lead volume. Premium pricing relative to audience size makes it expensive on a per-attendee basis. Companies need to maximize every interaction -- this is not a volume play. No clinical audience whatsoever.
Insider Tips
CHIME is the 'quality over quantity' health IT show -- 1,100 CIOs beats 40,000 mixed attendees at HIMSS for companies that sell to the CIO's office. Plan for executive-level conversations, not booth traffic volume.
