HIMSS 2026 officially kicked off in Las Vegas this week, bringing together healthcare leaders, innovators, and technology providers from across the globe. As the world’s largest annual gathering focused on healthcare technology, the conference continues to serve as a key platform for exploring how digital innovation is transforming care delivery, clinical workflows, and the broader healthcare ecosystem.
Day 1 saw thousands of attendees exploring the exhibition floor at the Venetian Expo & Convention Center, engaging with new technologies and exchanging ideas on the future of healthcare. Among the many conversations taking place across the show floor, the growing role of artificial intelligence in healthcare engagement and decision-making emerged as a recurring theme.
At Booth 1464, the Doceree team had a busy and exciting first day connecting with attendees eager to learn more about how AI-powered solutions are reshaping healthcare professional (HCP) engagement. Visitors from across the healthcare ecosystem—including EHR providers, health systems, hospital networks, and policymakers—stopped by the booth to meet the team and explore how contextual messaging within clinical workflows can elevate the way information reaches physicians.
Throughout the day, the booth became a hub for meaningful conversations about how healthcare organizations can deliver the most relevant messages to clinicians without disrupting their workflows. Many attendees were particularly interested in understanding how Doceree’s approach enables more precise, context-driven engagement within the digital environments physicians rely on every day.
Another highlight of the day was the strong interest in Doceree Dialogue, Doceree’s exclusive CXO series focused on AI for enhanced HCP engagement. On Day 1, the team recorded a session with Larry Kaiser, CMO, Optimum Healthcare IT, exploring how AI and digital innovation are shaping healthcare systems, clinical workflows, and the future of engagement across the care continuum. The series also drew participation from several other industry voices who joined the conversation at the booth, including Matthew Holt, Founder, The Health Care Blog; Gil Bashe, Managing Director, Finn Partners; Adam Forman, DAW Systems; Chris Jacobs, CEO GlicHealth; and Pooja Babbrah, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Industry Alignment, NCPDP.
Day 1 also provided an opportunity for attendees to meet members of the Doceree leadership and business teams, including Thomas Shea, Ritesh Patel, Vijay Adapala, Courtney Osteen, Tyler Ross, Kerri Groenke, Kristin Carty, and Nina Foley, who were on-site connecting with partners and industry peers.
With strong footfall, engaging discussions, and growing interest in AI-driven engagement strategies, Day 1 at HIMSS 2026 set an exciting tone for the rest of the week at the Doceree booth. Attendees visiting the conference in the coming days can continue the conversation by stopping by Booth 1464 to connect with the team.
