Is ViVE worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
The fastest-growing health IT event in the US, complementing HIMSS with a more innovation-focused, startup-friendly vibe. 8,000+ executives including 2,000+ C-suite from health systems. Ideal for digital health, AI/ML, telehealth, cybersecurity, and EHR-adjacent products. Turnkey booths (furniture, AV, electrical included) reduce the all-in cost surprise.
Why Skip
ViVE competes directly with HIMSS for the health IT audience and many attendees go to both. Budget for one. Younger event (launched 2022) means less institutional inertia and relationships. Pricing is opaque (contact sales only) which makes budgeting harder. If you need clinical end-users (physicians, nurses), this is not the show.
What should exhibitors know before ViVE?
ViVE's turnkey booth model is a major differentiator. You get furniture, carpet, monitor, AV, and electrical included. This eliminates the typical $5-8k of 'hidden costs' that kill first-time exhibitors at traditional shows. The HLTH/CHIME co-production means both innovation (startups, VCs) and enterprise (CIOs, CMIOs) are in the room. Nashville is cheaper than Las Vegas (HLTH USA) for travel.

How we score
Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
Solid (7.3): 50% purchasing authority (moderate) and large-scale event.
Not scored on cost: this organizer publishes no booth price we can link to.
Standout (9.6): exhibitor prospectus available, and 9 booth options documented.
Standout (9.5): managed by HLTH, Inc., non-union venue (simpler, cheaper move-in), and exhibitor-friendly host city.
Standout (9.6): solid exhibitor rationale, honest "who should skip" guidance, and momentum / record-setting growth.
Standout (10.0): large and well-established, one of the fastest-growing shows in the space, and growing year over year.
