Our Take
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.
Insider Tips
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.
