Description

For onsite and virtual group registration information, contact Michael McNutt at mmcnutt@wedi.org 

WEDI’s National Conference returns to the nation's capital this November, bringing together health care's most influential voices to explore the evolving landscape of health information exchange. For nearly three decades, WEDI’s annual gathering has served as a trusted forum for uncovering best practices, spotlighting innovative solutions, and addressing the most pressing challenges in health IT.

This year’s event will continue that legacy—featuring thought leaders from across the health care ecosystem, including payers, providers, health IT vendors, public health agencies, and state and federal government entities. From data standards and interoperability to cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, prior authorization, and equity-driven data strategies, the 2025 conference will deliver powerful insights and actionable strategies that drive collaboration and progress.

Join us in Washington, D.C., as we shape the future of health data exchange—together.

Excited to Welcome Sarah Iselin, President and CEO, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts
