2026 WEDI National Conference

October 26, 2026 10:00 AM - October 29, 2026 12:00 PM (EDT)

Description

The WEDI National Conference is the premier annual gathering of health care leaders, policymakers, innovators, and technology experts committed to advancing a more connected, efficient, and patient-centered health care system.

Each year, the conference brings together stakeholders from across the health care ecosystem—including payers, providers, health IT developers, government agencies, standards development organizations, clearinghouses, and industry partners—to share best practices, lessons learned, emerging trends, and real-world implementation experiences. Through thought-provoking keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and practical case studies, attendees gain actionable insights into the policies, standards, and technologies shaping the future of health care.

Conference sessions explore today's most pressing issues in health information exchange, administrative simplification, interoperability, value-based care, privacy and cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital health innovation, and evolving federal initiatives. Participants will hear firsthand from organizations leading implementation efforts, learn how industry collaboration is driving meaningful progress, and discover practical solutions that reduce administrative burden while improving the patient and provider experience.

Whether you are developing policy, implementing technology, or transforming business operations, the WEDI National Conference provides an unparalleled opportunity to learn from industry leaders, exchange ideas with peers, and help shape the future of health care interoperability.
